A fur-clad man, who goes by the name Blue, leads a bike ride for attendees around the Yards Park at the Figment DC festival Saturday.
Self-expression was the focal point of the free festival, leading some participants to dress in costume.


I was zipping different people around since I arrived at Figment DC in the late afternoon, September 29, 2012. I am a part-time tricycle pilot and after my work, I showed up at Figment DC with furry costume in hand. I picked up Nom Nom (left) and Soko (right) and gave them a ride. No crashes were reported to authorities, and all body parts were intact. I attempted to terrorize a few of the younger kids when they were riding, but my antics on the trike were only met with enthusiastic cheers of “more” and “again”!
