Lake Merritt Ride

​A Kidical Mass bike ride is a large group ride for kids of all ages, family members, and supporters. We choose an easy route that anyone can ride, and ride as a pack for safety and fun. Our rides end with treats of some kind and time to hang out. While everyone rides at their own risk, we have guides to help keep the group together and block traffic at intersections.

​The rides are free. All are welcome. The rides have an easy pace and are "no drop" rides, meaning no one will be left behind.

​The Lake Merritt Ride will start at Snow Park, which is very close to the 19th Street BART station in Oakland. Meet up at 10:30am on the Harrison Street side of the park, near the Bay Wheels bikeshare station. At the beginning of the ride, we'll hand out stickers, safety vests, and bike bells for the kids attending. We'll roll out at 11:00am, loop around the Lake, and return to Snow Park at the end, where riders will be able to enjoy good company, waffles, churros, soft-serve ice cream, and more!
