INSPIRED BY A LOVE FOR BIKES, CITY CRUISING, CRITICAL MASS, COSTUMES, SILLYNESS + THINGS THAT INFLATE, AEOLIAN RIDE IS A FREE, MASS PARTICIPATORY EVENT WITH A SENSE OF HUMOR. IT EXCITES THOSE RIDING AS WELL AS DELIGHTS THOSE WATCHING, ALL THE WHILE TRANSFORMING THE LANDSCAPE INTO A PLAYGROUND OF WINDFILLED SHAPES.

THE 52 SUITS WERE HANDMADE FROM RIPSTOP NYLON. THE 3 DIFFERENT STYLES OF SUITS WERE DESIGNED TO INFLATE WHILE RIDING AT LOW SPEEDS.
