2025 Swift Campout: bikePOCing, New York City NY

Swift Campout is the annual, global call to go bike-camping to celebrate the solstice. For the eleventh year in a row, adventurers will pack camp gear on their bicycles and head out on June 21st and 22nd, 2025 to kick off summer with a bike-overnight. 

Swift Campout is an ode to spending the longest day in the saddle, to the shortest night under the stars and to the stellar community that rallies to share this stoke. Join us!

We’re pleased to introduce you to biPOCing 

We’re a group dedicated to making bikepacking more accessible to the BIPOC community through community organizing and knowledge sharing. This trip is an adventure around the eastern half of Long Island. We’ll ride 40 miles to Wildwood State Park, where we’ll set up camp and spend the evening relaxing at the beach. The next day, we’ll bike another 40 miles back, following a mix of dedicated bike routes and highway shoulders. Through this trip, we hope to empower our community to feel confident and excited about biking, camping, and connecting with nature.
