Cycling event known as "Kidical Mass" takes place on the anniversary tour this Sunday
The Kidical Mass, a regular event that sees children, families, and supporters take to the streets of Wuppertal, has reached its tenth journey. This event, which has become a symbol of the desire for safe paths, is organized by Bicycle City Wuppertal, ADFC Wuppertal/Solingen, and the "Mobile Wuppertal" initiative.
Over the past two years, hundreds of people have participated in each Kidical Mass event in Wuppertal. The pace of the Kidical Mass is chosen to accommodate the youngest participants, making it a joyful and inclusive event for all.
Christoph Grothe from the "Bicycle City Wuppertal" association is a proponent of the Kidical Mass. Grothe emphasizes the joy that comes from opening up streets for everyone during the Kidical Mass, stating, "A city where children and young people can move independently and safely requires traffic laws prioritizing children, a continuous and safe cycling infrastructure for all age groups, and the consistent implementation of Vision Zero."
The Kidical Mass in Wuppertal has repeatedly demonstrated the importance of safe paths for children and families. The route, approximately six kilometers long, has taken various routes through different neighborhoods in Wuppertal. The images of children on bicycles, balance bikes, and scooters during the Kidical Mass have become a symbol of the need for safe and enjoyable urban mobility for children and families.
The Kidical Mass is part of a nationwide movement that now involves over 180 cities across Germany. This anniversary edition of the Kidical Mass stands for a livable future, promoting the importance of prioritizing children's safety and independence in urban mobility.
While the specific organizer of the Kidical Mass event in Wuppertal could not be found in the available data, it is common for local cycling clubs such as ADFC groups to support or organize such events in Germany.
