For Alina Jäger, who has built her personal brand under the pseudonym "Clippedinandfree," everything revolves around the liberating and inspiring experience of road cycling. Clippedinandfree refers to the process of clipping the cycling shoes into the pedal and the subsequent feeling of freedom as soon as one starts pedaling. Cycling always takes the top priority for Alina, as evidenced by the 15,000 kilometers ridden and 160,000 meters of elevation conquered in the year 2022.

Unlike many other influencers, being perfectly styled is not important to her because cycling experiences are strenuous, sweaty, dirty, and unfiltered—but still fulfilling. While she travels solo, hauling her bike across entire countries, sourcing the essentials with her closest friends over thousands of kilometers, and operating the vlog camera with one hand despite steep ascents, the authentically produced videos on YouTube provide the most honest glimpse into her life, passion, and mentality.

Imperfection is a USP

The vlogs, released once a week, are characterized by a deliberately simple and spontaneous presentation: no overpriced camera equipment, no exaggerated or cinematic special effects. The footage is shaky at times, individuals and objects are not always perfectly in focus, mishaps are rarely edited out but rather used as stylistic elements.

The video production can be divided into two categories: regular, self-contained vlogs, and multipart miniseries for longer bikepacking trips. These miniseries include specially produced intros and brief summaries at the beginning, as well as previews at the end.
