Kidical Mass calls for safe streets for kids

By Alison Hill

On Sunday 24 September you may have encountered a colourful group of kids accompanied by their grownups cycling around the city centre ringing their bells and waving. This cheerful sight was Oxford’s fourth Kidical Mass, and the third this year. Kidical Mass is a marshalled family-friendly ride to give children the opportunity to cycle on the roads of their home city, streets that would normally not be considered safe for them.
