The second year was more relaxed and so in easy stages we changed the policy.</p> <p>Kiddical Mass also reminds me of a pioneer ride, Glasgow-Balloch ploughing through undergrowth and along the disused railway. We had a 7 year old, at the start, and his mum planned to collect him in Clydebank, about halfway to Balloch. In the event all the adults were struggling to hold the kid back and he completed the 21 miles.... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16240#post-360442 Mon, 09 May 2022 18:59:17 +0000 chdot 360442@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>What’s planned for when people get to The Meadows? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16240#post-360439 Mon, 09 May 2022 17:59:30 +0000 algo 360439@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>apologies for being so late posting this here - would be great if Edinburgh folk could spread the word. i have loads of flyers and there are a load at EBC and Alpine Bikes in Marchmont and the Commonwealth pool.</p> <p>Route and info here:</p> <p><a href="http://blackfordsaferoutes.co.uk/kidical-mass/" rel="nofollow">http://blackfordsaferoutes.co.uk/kidical-mass/</a></p> <p>and the flyer for download here in case that's helpful</p> <p><a href="http://blackfordsaferoutes.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/Kidical-Mass-flyer.pdf" rel="nofollow">http://blackfordsaferoutes.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/Kidical-Mass-flyer.pdf</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16240#post-360433 Mon, 09 May 2022 16:25:46 +0000 chdot 360433@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>“</p> <p>A Europe-wide Kidical Mass weekend on 14/15 May 2022 is aiming to get as many kids out and cycling as possible, showing support for cycle-friendly cities.</p> <p>Edinburgh's ride is on 15 May, 2pm meeting at Harrison Park followed by a ride to the Meadows.</p> <p>“</p> <p><a href="https://www.cyclinguk.org/event/kidical-mass-edinburgh" rel="nofollow">https://www.cyclinguk.org/event/kidical-mass-edinburgh</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16240#post-216009 Thu, 07 Apr 2016 13:49:15 +0000 wee folding bike 216009@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>That was it, I knew it was Cardonald but couldn't remember the name of the park.</p> <p>Pretty wee kids used to do it. The old Glasgow Cycling Campaign yellow leaflet had a photo of a kid riding on it.

I might be in there later or next week as my 10 year old bottom bracket is not coming out. Or I might just use fire. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16240#post-216002 Thu, 07 Apr 2016 13:37:34 +0000 Darkerside 216002@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Could squeeze Bellahouston in there too.

Family cycling, led rides along safe routes, that sort of stuff.</p> <p>More here: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/kidicalmassglasgow/" rel="nofollow">https://www.facebook.com/groups/kidicalmassglasgow/</a></p> <p>We're aiming for a first ride on 14 May, hopefully in Pollok Park unless Glasgow Council throw a spanner in the works... If you're vaguely in the area, please come along!</p> <p>Cheers!</p> <p>Rob </p>
