Ride Guidelines
Please wear helmets and ride safely.
Rides are typically 4 miles at a 5-6 mph pace on quiet residential streets, roughly 1 hour with stops.
Rides are suitable for children who can ride their own bike for at least three miles; we have had children do this on training wheels just fine.
Younger children are welcome on trail-a-bikes, child trailers and child seats of their parent's bike.
Festive dress and decorations encouraged.
It is expected that all kids bring a parent or guardian.

Comment by Elizabeth on April 27, 2013 at 11:54pm We have a route for tomorrow's Hyde Park Kidical Mass ride: http://goo.gl/maps/lE44e
Come on and out and join us! It's very accessible from the lakefront trail, and tomorrow should be gorgeous. We mass up between 10:30 and 11 and head out at 11.
dress appropriately, everyone.

Nati and I are expecting a baby on November 29th, so this ride will not continue through the winter months without some alternative leadership (we aren't set up to take a newborn on a bike). An email list will hopefully help with continuity, and make it easier to get the word out.
Comment by Elizabeth on October 24, 2012 at 9:27am If you're on the north side, and thinking of heading south sometime for the Hyde Park ride, this Sunday would be an excellent opportunity! It's supposed to be cold and clear, and should be a beautiful ride south along the lake to Harold Washington Park. We'll have bike decorations and hopefully lots of riders in costumes!

Comment by Elizabeth on October 21, 2012 at 12:27pm We'll do special Halloween ride, next Sunday the 28th. Come on out and join us for Hyde Park Kidical Mass!
Comment by Todd Allen on August 17, 2012 at 10:07am The rides from Welles Park have been happening each month rain or shine. I'll be there tomorrow. With a beautiful forecast I expect a good turnout and a great ride.
Comment by Sarah D. 1-3.3 on August 16, 2012 at 9:20pm I can't find any kids to bring! But I'll come anyway - anything to avoid housecleaning in August.
Comment by Ash L. on August 16, 2012 at 5:43pm I hope there is since I have info to give out for next month's camping trip. I now know that there'll be at least two of us there ;)
Comment by Sarah D. 1-3.3 on August 16, 2012 at 5:22pm Hey, is there a Welles Kidical ride this weekend? Just checking before I post on the Welles site. Thanks! It was in the Alderman's newsletter again, so I hope so!
