CycleBrookfield's Haunted Halloween Ride
Cycle Brookfield advocates riding year round for fun and community building. This year was our first Halloween Haunted House ride. Participants wore Costumes, masks, helmets and decorated their bikes with lights. The first 50 children were awarded CycleBrook bicycle safety lights. The Halloween Haunted House ride was a 5 mile tour through Brookfield visiting many of the best decorated homes. Special thanks to the Village of Brookfield Police Department for assisting us in the busy street crossings.
