Since then Aeolian Riders have taken an amazing ride through 20 cities around the globe. See it happen here: http://www.aeolian-ride.info/video.html \nWhat’s an Aeolian?\nYou. On a bike. Inflated. 🙂 “Aeolian” is a Greek word- to be caused or carried by the wind. The costumes inflate as you ride – but don’t worry you won’t get carried away – at least not by the wind. \nWhy is this happening?\nAeolian Ride has a magical effect of creating a loop of joy between the spectator and the performer. It also transforms the everyday street to a place for public art where the public is the art. \nWhat does the Aeolian Ride want for its birthday?\nNo presents! – Ok\, yes presents! The Aeolian Ride would like to give to those who give to the community. Ticket sales proceeds will be donated to 596acres.org – a wonderful non-profit helping communities get access to public spaces\, including our party space\, Spontaneous Interventions. \nCan I inflate and ride?\nHave a bike and a helmet? Great! Now you just need a ticket. Hurry\, there are a limited number of suits! A portion of proceeds go to 596acres.org \nMy kids want to inflate too!\nAre they over 5 with a helmet and wheels? Sweet! Sign the kids up! \nCan I just party?\nPromise to show us your favorite dance moves?
