Kidical Mass.
AWARENESS & INSPIRATION
Kidical Mass is a worldwide movement of safe, social, family-friendly rides, which emerged in Oregon in the USA in around 2008, born out of the wider Critical Mass movement. Like Critical Mass, these aren’t just social rides. They are rides with a message, focused on encouraging and enabling people of all ages and abilities to take to the streets to cycle, wheel and scoot.
The idea is to inspire children and their families to ride more and have fun, but also to raise awareness of how tricky it sometimes can be for families to cycle for everyday journeys, to school, to friends, to the shops etc., and to make the case for child-friendly cycling.
Kidical Mass has the vision that all children and young people should be able to move around safely and independently by bike.
