This London Exploreris a special one. Meet at Le Delice Cafe in Ladywell at 9.30am to ride to Shoreditch to join the London Kiddical Mass, which will then head 2 miles east to Chisenhale Rd, by Victoria Park in Hackney. What is Kiddical Mass, you might ask, if you haven’t heard the term before. Well, its a bit of a play on words, taking the idea of Critical Mass, the rides held monthly in London (and other major cities worldwide) when the aim is to get enough people riding so that the streets are made safe purely by the volume of cyclists on them. Kiddical Mass echoes the idea but is also about reclaiming the streets for children, a group of people so long banished from what was once, for city children like me, our play space. Meeting up with other families from across London, we will ride together, with experienced marshals alongside. Unlike Critical Mass though, Kiddical Mass sticks to quiet streets and traffic free cycle tracks whenever possible. Kiddical Mass is about people enjoying riding their bikes, whatever their age or ability. We will join other families and individuals from across London at Arnold Circus, Shoreditch and ride with them to Chisenhale Street School to meet families from the school who have been preventing the destruction of their school street. Victoria Park is right next the the street so riders can head into the park for refreshments if they so choose, before we head back to Lewisham. In all, the round trip will be about 15 miles from Lewisham to East London and back. So sign up for this on eventbrite. https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/lewisham-cyclists-longer-rides-tickets-244344800877If you would like to help us marshal the ride contact me by text or email You don’t need to sign up if you’re willing to help out.
