Have you ever joined a biking event where participants were encouraged to wear costumes? We love seeing the creativity on display! If you're looking for bike costume ideas for your next event, we have some excellent ideas for you. Maybe you want your costume to be a pop culture reference or something comfortable to wear with shorts or pants. And there's no shame in looking for a costume accessory kit that allows you to wear your regular biking attire. These biking event costumes include outfit ideas for everyone!
Pop Culture Biking Costumes
| Kids' Dustin Waupaca Shirt | Billy the Puppet Mask | Kids' Elliott Costume | Napoleon Dynamite Pedro |
| Dorothy Costume | Kermit the Frog Costume | Sexy Waluigi Costume | Stitch Costume |
If you love making references to pop culture with your costumes for biking, we have more than you think! Of course, we instantly think of movies and T.V. series with kids on bikes—such as Stranger Things, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, The Goonies, It, Stand by Me, and others. But that's certainly not all! We loved watching Pedro make ramp jumps on his bike in Napoleon Dynamite, and Kermit has ridden a bicycle on multiple occasions. However, even memorable tricycle moments can make fun bike costume ideas. Do you remember when Stitch took Lilo on a tricycle ride across their island? What about Billy the Puppet from the Saw franchise? Also, practically any Super Mario Bros. character works because of the Trike Harder Super Mario Party mini-game!
Costume Shirts
| Fringed Western Shirt | Ron Swanson Costume | Referee Shirt | Zach Morris Costume |
| Scooby-Doo Fred | Pink Ladies Jacket | Napoleon Dynamite | Police Shirt |
If you can't bear to part with your favorite pair of bike shorts, fear not! We have costume shirts that are easily recognizable even without pants. How fun would it be to ride on a bike in a Western-style shirt rather than a horse? What about a referee in a sport that ironically has no refs? These are only a few ideas to help you get started, but we're sure you can brainstorm something amazing! If the character or Halloween costume is recognizable enough (such as Fred from Scooby-Doo), you could simply wear the top half and save the bottoms for Halloween.
Costume Accessory Kits
| Potato Head Costume Kit | Hercules Costume Kit | White Rabbit Kit | Male Dancer Kit |
| Toy Story Woody Kit | Butterfly Harnesses | The Office 3-Hole Punch | Quidditch Gear Set |
Sometimes fun costumed events occur during the summer when it can be notoriously hot for grueling outdoor activities. Don't use the heat as an excuse not to dress up in a biking costume! Costume accessory kits are wonderful ways to wear costumes without breaking a sweat—or your budget. Jim's classic 3-hole punch costume is easy to pull off with your white shirt of choice, and a Potato Head kit is a fun idea for adults and kids alike. Accessory kits are also the most affordable option while still participating in the event!
Costumes With Shorts
| Lara Croft Costume | Lt. Dangle Costume | Suicide Squad Harley Quinn | Ace Ventura Tutu Outfit |
| Richard Simmons Costume | Dr. Ellie Sattler Costume | Running Forrest Gump | 80s Workout Costume |
You're in it to win it when it comes to the race and style points. These costume ideas with shorts won't restrict your biking legs or get caught in your gears, making them some of the best bike event costume ideas! Sweat it out as an 80s workout instructor or as the famous Richard Simmons himself. Dinosaurs on the run? Dr. Ellie Sattler only wished she could bike out of Jurassic Park! You can even go new bike goofin' as Lt. Dangle. We're sure you can find plenty of other shorts costumes that won't sacrifice your speed or comfort.
Costumes With Pants
| Squid Game Track Suit | Elizabeth Swan Costume | Horse Jockey Costume | Cobra Kai Costume |
| Shego Costume | Red Power Ranger Costume | Astronaut Outfit | Uncle Sam Costume |
You are entirely committed to the bit, and we applaud you! Go head-to-toe in these jumpsuit costumes and costumes with pants. How funny would watching a racehorse jockey cut through the crowd on a bicycle be? Maybe this is only another challenge in Squid Game. Even Uncle Sam couldn't resist participating! Just make sure your costume has pants or some stretch, so you're not fighting your costume as you pedal. We also highly recommend avoiding long skirts, animal costumes with tails, and superhero costumes with capes because the last thing you need is to get caught in your bike. (Although we'll have to ask Mary Poppins how she does it.) You're there to have fun, but safely!
We hope you're filled with a burst of inspiration for your next costumed biking event! Have you ever biked in costume before? Do you like to bike in costume for fun on Halloween? We'd love to hear about your favorite outdoor activities to do in costume. If you have yet to find "the one", feel free to check out our other Halloween costumes to try for unique bike rides!
