Ride around North Portland with Kidical Mass PDX! We will find all 3 bike bridges in Inner North Portland on this free, family-friendly, kid-paced bike ride We’ll ride from the Unthank Park playground to Peninsula Park on neighborhood greenways and quiet streets, including riding across the Failing Street bike bridge to the Overlook neighborhood, over Going on the corkscrew bridge, and back over on the Bryant Street bridge, while singing along to kid movie musical songs. Meet at 2:15pm, ride at 2:30pm. The ride is a loop, 3 miles one way, 4.9 miles total, with a 20 minute break at the playground after 3 miles, so it is suitable for most young bike riders who can pedal their own bike without training wheels. You can leave the ride at Peninsula park or ride with us back to the start; we should be back around 4 pm. We ride at a moderate pace for little pedalers and parents on cargo bikes. This ride is mostly flat but the first 2 bridges have a "hill". 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!
