Kidical Mass Exeter returns for an autumn bike ride and picnic on Sunday 24 September as part of an ongoing campaign for safe cycling routes for children, young people and families.
The ride will set off from Southernhay at 11am and take a turn through Exeter’s streets before ending at Heavitree Pleasure Ground.
Everyone is welcome to join the ride whether or not they have children.

The event is designed to create a safe environment for families and friends to cycle together while highlighting the need for cycling routes that enable children and young people to travel safely and independently wherever they live.
It is intended to demonstrate that besides being fun, streets that keep children and cyclists safe work for everyone.
It also aims to promote a healthier, lower carbon future in which active travel modes are the norm.
The first Kidical Mass took place in 2008 in Eugene, Oregon, and has since become a worldwide celebration of cycling with events taking place around the globe.
A Kidical Mass weekend event last May attracted 40,000 participants in more than 200 cities.
Kidical Mass Exeter is 11am on Sunday 24 September 2023. Visit the Kidical Mass Exeter website to find out more and get involved.
