Halloween is right around the corner, and it’s time for your little ones to get excited about dressing up! If your family shares a love for cycling, why not combine that passion with their costume this year? A bike-themed Halloween costume can add a fun, active twist to the festivities, especially if they’re cycling to school.

There are countless ways to bring cycling into your child’s Halloween costume, and we’ve gathered some of our favourite ideas to help you make it happen.

In this guide, we’ve divided things into two sections: spooky costume ideas for kids and, of course, some fun options for adults (you’ll see what we mean!). Take a look and get ready to spark some creative inspiration!

Elliot and E.T.

This timeless cycling costume is both iconic and easy to pull together. All you’ll need for your child is a red zip-up hoodie, blue jeans, a front bike basket, and something to stand in as E.T. wrapped in a white towel.

For those looking to go all out, there are plenty of official E.T. dolls and plush toys available to purchase. However, if you’re on a budget, you can craft something at home—like using a paper E.T. mask placed on a stuffed toy, wrapped snugly in a white towel or blanket to reveal just the face.

Kiki’s Delivery Service

For Studio Ghibli fans, Kiki’s Delivery Service is an excellent choice for Halloween. If your child wants to dress up as Kiki, the essentials are a dark blue short-sleeved dress, a red hair bow, red shoes, and a brown satchel or shoulder bag.

To incorporate the bike, attach a witch’s broom to the top tube, with the brush end sticking out behind. Adding a small stuffed black cat can really complete the look!

If your child prefers Tombo, it’s even simpler: a red and white striped t-shirt, blue jeans, and black-framed glasses are all that’s needed. For the more ambitious, you could add a propeller fan to the front of the bike for a true-to-character finish.

The Goonies

Recreating the classic characters from The Goonies is straightforward and works brilliantly with a group of four friends to form the full gang. For Chunk, think checked trousers, a floral shirt, and a red jacket. Adding a basket to the front of the bike is a great touch, and if you’ve got a vintage Chopper, you’re really onto a winner.

For the other key characters — Mikey, Data, and Mouth — each has their own unique style. Data’s look includes a leather or faux-leather jacket with rolled-up jeans. For Mikey, go for double denim with a pair of jeans and a denim shirt over a grey t-shirt. Mouth’s outfit features dark grey trousers, a light grey shell jacket, and a black band t-shirt—bonus points if it’s a Purple Rain album cover t-shirt!

We hope this roundup has sparked some creative ideas. Good luck with your Halloween costumes, and don’t forget to share your creations with us - you might just feature in next year’s list!
