Come and join us for a fun, friendly, family based cycle ride around Hitchin. Riders of all abilities are welcome, although we would recommend a minimum independent rider age of 5 years old (the ride is ~2 miles). Younger children in bike seats/trailers/tag-alongs etc. are of course very welcome!
Children under 16yrs old are to be accompanied by a responsible adult at all times!
We will meet at the basketball courts at Ransoms Recreation ground in Hitchin (Grove road entrance) at 10:30 on Sunday 14th September 2025 for a prompt start to the ride at 10:45. Ride leaders and marshals will be there to guide the ride, please pay attention to any instructions they may have to ensure the ride stays safe and enjoyable for everyone!
Upon completion of the ride, you are also welcome to join The Triangle Garden’s summer fete (from 11am) where there will be food stalls, live music and kids activities!
Kidical Mass is a growing worldwide body of people with the same vision - to allow children and young people to be able to safely and independently travel by bicycle wherever they live.
Their motto is "Kids Are Traffic Too" and they're looking for "Space for the next generation".
They spread their vision by arranging local rides for all the family which highlight the demand for improved safe spaces for children to walk, scoot, wheel and cycle in their neighbourhoods.
We want to bring this movement to Hitchin - to highlight that our lovely town needs better cycling infrastructure too!
Anyone can attend a Kidical Mass ride - from 0 to 99 (and beyond!) Bring your family and friends!
