Don’t forget to bring:

Halloween Costumes
Lights
Noise Makers
Signs (if safe to do so)
Camera
Helmets (Required for children; optional but recommended for adults)

This ride will have a Halloween theme to it because – it can be scary out there… and it shouldn’t be!
Please make sure your costumes keep you warm/dry, and don’t hamper your vision or mobility, etc. Let’s have some fun!
RSVP for this FREE family-friendly Halloween event on Eventbrite here.
Note: Lime will be offering a discount code for anyone that would like to use one of their e-bikes or scooters for the event. Please register if you would like to take advantage of this and to help us make sure there are enough scooters and bikes available from Lime!
