Kidical Mass - Grant Park Bike Ride

Kidical Mass is a family-friendly, law-abiding bike ride with the purpose to teach kids, parents and caregivers safety skills and provide a ride in which to practice them.  Organizers from the Sopo Bicycle Co-op and Atlanta Bicycle Coalition hope to build awareness of the growing presence of kids and families on bikes, as well as the need for all road users to respect others.  Kidical Mass brings together families who bike to build a supportive bicycling community.  The rides are comfortable for families just starting out and biking on city streets for the first time but don’t completely avoid traffic.

The Grant Park Kidical Mass will start at Milledge Fountain, at the corner of Cherokee Ave and Milledge Avenue and will continue south on Cherokee Ave, turn right (west) on Georgia Ave, turn right (north) on Connally St, turn right (east) on Sydney St, turn right onto Cherokee Ave, and end back at Cherokee Ave and Milledge Ave.

This is a very slow-paced ride (avg. 1-10 mph).  Riders are encouraged to share the fun by ringing bells, bringing noise makers, and waving to all. All types of bikes, trailers, trail-a-bikes, Xtracycles, longtails, bakfiets, Long Johns, tandems, folders, trikes, and whatever rolls are welcome.  Organizers will give away Kidical Mass spoke cards and stickers at the ride start location at 9:30am as the group gathers.
