Last fall, I invited a bunch of friends out for a bike camping trip. Some of them had been collecting gear specifically for the occasion, and for some, it was actually their first time riding a bike out in nature.<\/p>\n

A few of my friends told me it was the most fun they\u2019d had all year. Since then, a lot of them have started going bike camping more often, which honestly makes me really happy.<\/p>\n

Why not step outside your usual stomping grounds once in a while and go have some fun on your bike?<\/strong><\/p>\n

That\u2019s what I want to share with people.<\/p>\n

So I\u2019ve been starting with the people around me, getting them out of their everyday routines and taking them by train to ride bikes, camp, and spend some time in nature. I feel like it\u2019s kind of my mission to keep growing that circle, so I\u2019ll keep getting outside and having fun.<\/p>\n

October 10 is known as \u201cTent Day\u201d in Japan. It’s a play on words from \u201cten, ten” of October 10th.<\/p>\n

I thought I was a genius when I came up with this pun. But of course, there was no way all the outdoor brands out there had somehow missed something that obvious.<\/p>\n

A bunch of outdoor brands have already been using the day as \u201cTent Day,\u201d but it\u2019s easy to remember and October is such a great time of year to be outside, so I\u2019m happy to borrow it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

So, from this year, October 1oth will be the day of Blue Lug Bike & Camp. Let’s all get out there and camp!<\/p>\n

*Please note, that this is just a call out to go bike camping with your friends and family. It is NOT an open event.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It doesn’t have to be a long tour where you load up your bikes with a ton of gear. I just want to hype everyone up to simply go out on a bike ride and camp for a night. Heck, You could drive to a campsite and cruise around on your bike, or even stay in a cabin.<\/p>\n

I just want everyone to make the time to get out of the area you often spend most time, ride bikes and stay over the night.<\/p>\n

Now, I know that it would take time for this day to become a thing, in such a short notice.<\/p>\n

We decided to keep things simple this year and treat the first edition as a stepping stone toward something bigger in the years to come. So for this first year, I reached out to friends and people I\u2019m close with and asked them to be part of it.<\/p>\n

I think we\u2019ve put together a seriously amazing lineup.<\/p>\n

And by \u201ceveryone,\u201d I mean all the brands and bike communities from around the world featured on the flyer.<\/p>\n

I also made a special item for this day.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

A special triangle reflector!<\/p>\n

For the design, I wanted to recreate the look of a reflector after getting completely covered in mud during a trail ride, using a printed graphic. It\u2019s a design I\u2019d been wanting to try for a while, and it felt like the perfect opportunity to finally make it happen.<\/p>\n
