Passionate about cycling since my youth, I lived in a van full time between 2016 and 2022. In March 2018 I lost my job and I promised myself to start my own business. My experience on film sets and my lifestyle inspired me to found Bonvelo to share the bike destinations I was discovering. In 2 years, the concept went from a simple cellular video, to a web series and finally to a TV series on the Évasion channel of the Quebecor group! That's how my childhood dream of being on TV came true :) Today I am a director, animator and ambassador for some brands including Cycles Devinci, Guru and HLC. After 6 years of vanlife, I felt like taking a new adventure, cycle from Victoria to Patagonia! __ PARTNERS 🤝 Cycles Devinci - Guru Énergie - OTE Canada - Enve Composites - Ride Fox - One Up Components - Oakley - Pittstop Vélo Café This video is presented by @CyclesDevinci and edited by Alexandre Dussault from @PearTreeProductions 💻 __ SOCIAL 📲 ✩ Instagram - https://instagram.com/dominickmenard ✩ YouTube - https://youtube.com/c/dominickmenard #biketouring #bikesetup #bikecheck
