No, not Critical Mass -- this is Kidical Mass, a family-friendly bike ride through our neighborhood.
Kidical Mass began in April 2008 in Eugene, and quickly spread to Portland as well. Rides are held on the third Friday of each month at various locations around Portland. October 17th marks the debut of Kidical Mass in the outer NE area, right here at Knott Park.
Riders will gather near the baseball field at NE 112th and Russell at 6:00 p.m. for a brief safety talk, and we'll hit the road at 6:15. It'll just be a brief ride on neighborhood streets. It looks like it won't actually be dark yet, but we'll have some loaner safety lights available just in case.
Riders of all ages should wear helmets. Participants are welcome to use a scooter or walk/jog along as well. We'll have a sweeper cyclist in the rear to make sure no one gets left behind.
And if you'd like to decorate your bike in honor of Halloween, or wear a costume, you are welcome to do that, too! Let's make a splash here in NE Portland!
