Kidical Mass PDX - Downtown Ride to Frozen Yogurt

Kidical Mass PDX kid friendly ride to frozen yogurt! 16 years of family bike rides
Celebrate the 16h anniversary of Kidical Mass PDX with a bike ride downtown to get frozen yogurt! This family-friendly, kid-paced bike ride first happened in June 2008 on a route downtown similar to this one.

This year we’ll ride from The Fields park in NW Portland to Director Park, where we can get self-serve frozen yogurt with topping at Tartberry, a local shop. The ride is free, but bring money for yogurt.

Meet at 2:15pm, ride at 2:30pm. The ride is a loop, 3.5 miles total, with a 30 minute break at the park and yogurt shop after 1.5 miles, so it is suitable for most young bike riders who can pedal their own bike without training wheels. We should be back to the start by 4:15 pm.

We ride at a moderate pace for little pedalers and parents on cargo bikes. Kids should wear a helmet, be able to balance and pedal in a straight line, start and stop. Cargo bikes, tandems, trailers and tag-a-longs are great for kids who haven’t learned to pedal. Adult corkers are welcome to join as a traffic safety superheroes.

We’ll ride together as a group, rain or shine, because kids are traffic too!
