All rides will meet at Broad Street at 3pm, where a photocall will take place.

The event aims to encourage motorists to leave their cars at home for the day.

The ride will provide an opportunity for children to cycle safely into town, with the support of experienced volunteer marshals who will help manage traffic at crossings and busier intersections.

The event is open to all and free of charge, with no need to book in advance.

Participants are encouraged to bring their wheels, wear bright clothing, and carry bells.

Kidical Mass Oxford was launched in June 2022, with 100 riders gathering in Radcliffe Square from the east and north of the city.

This will be the sixth event of its kind, and organisers hope it will be the biggest yet.

Kidical Mass is an international movement aimed at getting children and adults excited about cycling and improving their confidence on the roads by riding in a safe, friendly, and welcoming group.
