A group of parents in Miami, FL, who are seeking to ensure the safety of their children as they ride their bikes, is organizing the city’s first ever “Kidical Mass” event.
The event is set to take place in January 2015.
According to a blog post from TransitMiami.com, the idea for Kidical Mass originated back in 2008 in Eugene, OR. The event has since spread to over 12 communities throughout Canada & the US. The purpose of the event is to raise awareness about the importance of respecting all road users, and to teach kids and parents riding and safety skills.
The ride will be approximately 1-3 miles and will last about an hour. Children are expected to wear helmets and to ride with a guardian. Kids of all ages are encouraged to attend and to wear their favorite costume.
