Kidical Mass May 2022 Kidical Mass riders gather in Belmont Park for the first Exeter event in May 2022.

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.

Kidical Mass Exeter takes place at 11am on Sunday 22 September 2024. Visit the Kidical Mass Exeter website to find out more and get involved.
