Get Your Bike On This Week With Upcoming Classes and Family-Friendly Bike Rides

It feels like winter outside, but everyone know bicycles are notoriously calendar-focused. They see it says "March" on that Phillies wall calendar hanging in your garage and they start spinning their pedals and whining. So shut your bike up by taking advantage of these free bike activities happening in the next week!

1) Kidical Mass! Family Bike Ride
This Saturday, March 9th
10:30 AM, Fitler Square, Philly

This is a friendly, casual ride for parents to ride bicycles with their children! It's like a Critical Mass, but with more adorable and less confrontation.

You can see the 4-mile center city ride route here. You can learn more information about the group of parents organizing these rides on their website or in their Facebook group.
