Parents who bike often want to share the cycling experience with their youngsters. Kidical Mass<\/a> provides them with a fun, safe and social way to do it.<\/p>\n

The first Kidical Mass was launched in 2008 in Eugene, Oregon, and it has since spread to over two dozen communities\u2014including several in our state. These bike rides through a neighborhood or community are kid-friendly, not very long, and often feature stops at someplace fun.<\/p>\n

Kidical Mass rides offer children a safe and friendly environment to learn how to ride their bikes. It also increases public awareness and visibility of family biking. Kidical Mass is not a Critical Mass for kids\u2014these rides are law abiding rides and meant to teach children how to safely ride on streets and trails.<\/p>\n

Seattle<\/a> has had an established Kidical Mass group for several years now and they organize monthly rides around the city. Spokane<\/a> will hold its first Kidical Mass ride tomorrow, and Tacoma<\/a> launches a Kidical Mass ride in May.<\/p>\n
