Our next rides

Save the dates for our next Kidical Mass events, in Reading and Wokingham. No need to book: just turn up and enjoy a safe, family-friendly, joyful ride with us.

Sunday 25 October, 1pm

๐ŸŽƒ Halloween ride ๐ŸŽƒ starting from the Thames Lido (RG1 8FR)

Friday 13 November, 6pm

โœจGlow rideโœจ from the Reading Bike Hub

As youโ€™re aware women are more likely than men to stop cycling in winter because so many of the bike paths are secluded and unlit. Glow rides highlight the need for safe, well lit routes mixing with a fun protest ride: cover your bikes in ๐Ÿ’กlights๐Ÿ’ก before finishing in a local pub, to discuss how cycling can be improved in Reading.

June 2026 Wokingham Bikeathon ride

The Kidical Mass marshals organised a family ride at the Wokingham Bikeathon, which was immensely successful!
We counted around 138 bikes at the beginning, and 100 towards the end. Smaller bikers could stop after 1 mile or 2 miles, but most people chose to stay for the whole 4 miles.

June 2026 ride

The unpredictable weather probably didn’t help, but there were still 20 of us cycling in Reading this afternoon. The only water we had was the fountain at Huntley Wharf โ€“ although no kid was brave enough to cycle through it. And for the first time, thanks to the shortened barrier on Chestnut Walk, we didn’t have to bring the ramps! See a few pictures of the event below.

Our last ride before the summer recess is at the Wokingham Bikeathon โ€“ see details on Facebook. See you there!
