Kidical Mass 2024: Kidical Mass Adelaide – 2024 will be held on Sunday 22nd September.

When: 10am – 12 noon, Sunday 22nd Sept. Where: Whitmore Square, Adelaide.

“KIDICAL MASS – CHILD FRIENDLY AND CYCLE FRIENDLY CITIES…

From big cities to rural areas, we as the Kidical Mass action alliance are united by the vision that children and young people should be able to move around safely and independently on foot and by bike.
Safe streets and active mobility for children and young people is the key to the mobility transition!
Children who are active by bike and on foot from an early age remain so as adults.
With our campaigns – especially the Kidical Mass bicycle demonstrations, the school streets and the bike bus (Bicibús) – we paint a positive picture of the future and make change tangible. The Kidical Mass action alliance consists of over 700 organizations, associations and initiatives from Canada to Australia.”
