As always, costumes are customary and prizes are present.

The ride isn’t strenuous, but there are a few short climbs so design your costume to be bike functional. Be well illuminated and wear your helmet.

AoB’s bicycle participants will be costumed as both clouds and the variety of townsfolk who make use of Asheville’s multimodal transportation system.
