NOTEKidical Mass kick off ride to ride!

About Ride bikes together with kids and families, from Grant Park to Alberta Park for the start of Pedalpalooza’s Bike Summer Kick-Off ride! This is a moderate paced ride, for kids on bikes and parents on cargo bikes. We’ll ride 3.5 miles, from the playground in Grant Park, to Alberta Park, which will be the start of the Pedalpalooza kick-off ride. We will ride at 515pm sharp and should arrive at Alberta Park at about 5:45pm, so you have time to pick up t-shirts and pennants, while kids can use the playground or enjoy other activities. Then at 6:30pm you can also join us if you want to ride the whole route of the Kick-Off Ride , along with other families and kids. That ride will be 4.5 miles long and has several hills, so younger kids may need to switch to a trailer or cargo bike with a grown-up. While our ride is 3.5 miles one-way and has one morderate hill which will be fine for grade schoolers on their own bikes, if you do the whole loop along with the Kick-Off Ride it will be 8 miles total, so it would be appropriate for 4th grade plus, or younger kids who are strong fast confident riders, to ride their own bike the whole way. Our ride will be suitable for young bike riders who can pedal their own bike uphill in a straight line. Kids should wear a helmet, be able to ride in a straight line without training wheels, start and stop, and follow instructions. Cargo bikes, tandems, trailers and tag-a-longs are great for younger or less confident kids, or in case kids get tired of pedaling. Adults without kids can also join the ride as corkers to help with traffic safety. We’ll ride together as a group, rain or shine, because kids are traffic too!
