Kidical Mass Group Rides
Started here in Eugene in 2008, Kidical Mass has taken a global presence on streets to bring kids and families out on bikes. Shift Community Cycles is coordinating the return of Kidical Mass to support families in shifting their mode of transportation and building community.
Spend your Saturday afternoon with Shift for a Kidical Mass adventure! The Kidical Mass group ride will occur at 2 PM on the last Saturday of each month. All rides start at Sladden Park (unless otherwise noted).
These group rides are free, family-friendly and open to everyone. Kidical Mass is an opportunity for families to learn to reach destinations with kids in tow on a bike. We encourage children to ride their bikes, as well as families to use cargo bikes, seat attachments, etc., to join us.
