Kidical Mass, the family-friendly social bike ride hosted by the city of Santa Monica, is back this Saturday, April 16, with an Earth Day-themed event.

In conjunction with Safe Routes to School, Active Santa Monica, and Santa Monica Spoke, the city will kick off Saturday’s festivities at 9 a.m. at Memorial Park with helmet decorating, refreshments, a best costume competition, and bike safety checks. Then, the ride starts at 10 a.m. The event will go until noon.

“We’ll be showing that Kids are Traffic Too and that cities that plan for family biking are more livable, sustainable, profitable, and FUN! There will be prizes for best costume, snacks, and other family activities,” officials said.

City officials ask that if you and your family plan to participate, that you RSVP to cory.keen@smgov.net.
