UGLY SHOES, WIGS & HATS
Sat. 19 July 2025
Get ready to pedal through Cambridge in style—or in the most hilariously questionable fashion choices you can find! This July, we invite you to dig deep into your closets, thrift shops, or costume bins for a ride that celebrates the weird, the wacky, and the wonderfully tacky.
Ugly Shoes, Wigs & Hats—pick one, two, or go all out with all three! Whether it’s neon sneakers, towering wigs, or outrageous hats that defy physics, the more bizarre, the better. If it makes you laugh or cringe, you’re doing it right.
Watch your fellow riders strut their questionable style choices as we turn the city into a rolling runway of ridiculousness. Then dance it out at our party stops where the music and vibes will be as lively as our outfits.
CBP is all about fun, community, and not taking life too seriously. So grab those goofy shoes, whip on a wig, slap on a hat, and let’s ride!
