Its that time again for the Hill Family Biking Halloween ride! We'll be starting at Lincoln Park by the Lincoln Statue and take a 4.5-mile route along the scariest blocks on the Hill built from The Hill is Home Spooky Hill Map.
The ride will end at Eastern Market Metro Plaza for some spooky fun including live music from the Knox Engler Band and a costume contest with awesome prizes. Start planning your costumes now:
Scariest 🙀 | Funniest 😂 | Transportation-themed 🚌| Bike-themed 🚲 | Family 👨👨👦👦 | Group ⛓️ | Brightest 💡 | Biggest 🐘 | Movie-themed 🍿 | Animal 🧸
We’ll have volunteers marshaling to ensure we stay together as a group. MPD bike team will also be participating in the ride to connect officers with the community.
If your family’s bikes need some TLC, please come 15 minutes early to get some assistance–we will have bike maintenance tools available, as well as some experienced amateur bike mechanics on hand to assist.

Frequently asked questions
Our events are focused on Capitol Hill, but all can participate
8 years old is a good cut off, but depends on the child's ability and comfort level. Kids 7 and under should ride on an adult's bike as a passenger.
We ask that all participants in our rides wear a helmet.
We ask that everyone participating ride a bicycle or adult tricycle. No training wheels.
It depends on the event. But expect the ride + event to be 1.5 to 2 hours with frequent stops.
