Put on your superhero costume to celebrate National Superhero day with a family-friendly bike ride with Kidical Mass PDX to our favorite comic shop.

We’ll ride from the Sunnyside School playground to Books With Pictures at Abernethy School on neighborhood greenways and quiet streets, while listening to superhero music. Meet at 2:15pm, ride at 2:30 pm. This is a free event, but you might want to buy a comic book or snack at the shop.

The ride is a loop, 2 miles each way with a break at the comic shop and food carts in the middle, so it is suitable for most young bike riders who can pedal their own bike. We ride at a moderate pace for little pedalers and parents on cargo bikes. Kids should wear a helmet, be able to ride in a straight line without training wheels, start and stop. Cargo bikes, tandems, trailers and tag-a-longs are great for kids who haven’t learned to pedal.

We’ll ride together as a group, rain or shine, because kids are traffic too!
