Michael Eloy is a bicycle tour guide in France. Most days you’ll find him guiding cyclists through the most scenic rides of Provence, but he occasionally takes time off to explore new routes on his Montague folding bike. He recently returned from a solo bike tour through the Spanish Pyrenees and into the Bardenas desert on his customized Paratrooper Pro.

Michael took his Paratrooper Pro through the Bardenas Reales region of Spain. The semi-desert region or “badlands” is home to impressive sandstone structures formed through thousands of years of erosion.
