Join us the third Thursday of the month at Mitchell Park for a fun and educational family bike ride to the Farmer’s Market Bike Valet! If you have ever wanted to ride your bike in a parade with kids of all ages, this is your chance! Riders of all levels are welcome- from those on their parent’s bikes, to balance bike riders, to the trickiest of BMX riders. The more the merrier as we welcome the next generation of cyclists! April through October, weather permitting.
2026 Dates Coming Soon!
Location: Begin at Mitchell Park Gazebo, head up the Bill Roalmann Greenway (Morro St) then back downtown, ending at Farmers Market Bike Valet.
Time: Meet at the Gazebo at 5:45PM
Can I walk next to my child during the event?
- No, we cannot allow anyone to walk in the roadway as it is illegal and unsafe for participants.
- The ride is just about one mile, please be sure your child has the ability to keep up with the group so we can ensure the safety of all participants
Can I drop off my child for the ride and meet you at the end?
- No, we require all children to be with their parent/guardian at all times during the event.
When are Kidical Mass events held?
- Once a month from May – August in San Luis Obispo.
What does it cost?
- Kidical Mass events are FREE!
What do I need to bring?
- All participants must be on a bicycle (adults included), no walking in the roadway is allowed.
- All participants must wear a helmet (adults included).
What is covered in the safety talk?
- We cover the basics of the road (stay to the right, stop at stop signs/lights), remind everyone how to wear a helmet properly, ride with a buddy, and to always ride smart!
Kidical Mass volunteer roles include:
- Hold our safety signs at select intersections to allow kiddos and families to safely cross.
- Ride with the group and set a positive example for everyone (obeying all laws).
