Family picnic
Saturday 7 September | From 12:00 | Florence Park OX4 3JZ
Join us in Florence Park for a daytime get together, a chance to meet the trustees and share cycling experiences in the city. We’ll be easy to find in the open space in Florence Park, near the play park next to Flo’s in the Park, on Rymer’s Lane. We’ll have the bubble bike and some food and drink, but bring your own picnic and perhaps a rug. Please register to give us an idea of numbers.

This mass ride for children and adults starts at four points around Oxford, in Headington, Florence Park, Oatlands Park, Hinksey Park and Summertown. All groups converge at Broad Street for refreshments, entertainment and a mass ride around the city centre.

Kidical Mass Oxford
Kidical Mass is a worldwide movement enabling children to cycle safely in groups on the streets of their towns and cities.
Oxford’s first Kidical Mass ride took place in the summer of 2022 with 100 participants.
Cyclox volunteers plan the routes and keep children safe. It’s a fun activity with a serious message about children’s independence, safe streets and active travel.
Get in touch via kidicalmass@cyclox.org if you’d like to join in.
