Tomorrow is Boston’s 14th annual Boston Halloween Bike Ride, by far my personal favorite group bike ride in Boston. Last year over 500 riders showed up in costume. This year’s Halloween Bike Ride includes a NEW starting location in Copley Square, neighborhood convoys to the starting point, and a pretty epic after-party in Allston’s Wonderbar. Let’s get spooky. Description below:

7:30pm until 10:30pm in EDT
Boston Bike Party is a social ride at casual pace. The idea is to spread the sense of community through biking! If we ride with some simple rules, we can stay safe and maintain a good relationship between cyclists, drivers, and pedestrians.
Come ride with us and celebrate biking in the city as we’ll go around JP!
Meet at 7.30pm in Dewey Square (in front of South Station) and roll at 8pm for a couple hours ride. Then come eat/drink with us at the after-party!
To do list:
-Bring bike lights and bells! Blinkies, glow sticks, and disco balls welcome. We want the party to be seen/heard.
Feeling inspired? Create something that makes light!
-Keep to the right lane and off of sidewalks
-Never ride against traffic
-Stop at red lights
-Ride straight and predictably
-Ride smart. Don’t ride inebriated or unsafely.
-Remind others to be safe. Help remind others who aren’t following the rules.
-Stick together! It isn’t a race to the end, it’s a social ride together. If the group is held back, wait. If you’re falling back (which is hard) catch up!
-You are each responsible for your behavior! All participants ride at their own risk.
— Detailled route and Spotify collaborative playlist to come soon
