A 🧵 of my reflections on #KidicalMassHfx.
In 2022 (our first season) our Dartmouth ride had ~12 participants.
In 2023 we had 76, and in 2024 we had 90.
Yesterday, 130 people rode bikes with us in Dartmouth, in support of our kids safety and independence in their communities.
1/6 #KidicalMassHfx is about building a community around cycling for kids.
The number of folks who come to any particular ride is just one measure of our community, but there’s so much more we also see as growth in this movement.
2/6 New #BikeHfx friends can borrow bikes & trailers to participate in our rides. Post-ride so many folks try e-cargo bikes from our fave local shop, and from proud community members who love to gush about their bikes. We inspire folks to try new ways to move around their communities with kids.
