Local bike enthusiasts this weekend will usher in the first day of spring by organizing a kid-friendly bike ride loosely based on the pro-biking Critical Mass rides that take place through downtown each month.
The first Chicago Kidical Mass ride will be held Saturday March 20 in Palmer Square in the Logan Square neighborhood. Riders will gather at 9 a.m. for a 9:30 a.m. departure and may ride until 10:30 a.m. The ride will start and end at “the bunny park” playground in Palmer square. The park is in the middle of Palmer Boulevard between Kedzie & Humbolt Boulevards. Future rides are proposed for each 3rd Saturday of the month.

The Kidical Mass movement was started in Eugene, Oregon in 2008 as a way to promote family friendly bike transit for beginning riders and experienced bike riders. Since then, similar events have been held throughout the Northwest, Canada and in Europe.
