\n The call comes as part of the Kidical Mass campaign, and ahead of the latest Kidical Mass rides in Brighton and Hove, scheduled for Sunday, September 21.\n<\/p>\n
\n The family-friendly event, which began in 2023, encourages cycling for all ages while calling for safer, connected cycle networks.\n<\/p>\n
\n Duncan Blinkhorn, from Brighton Bike Hub, said: “We\u2019re pleased that we’re one step closer to a new cycle lane along the seafront A259 in Hove.\n<\/p>\n
\n “However much of Hove is dominated by car traffic, which makes cycling less attractive for families.\n<\/p>\n
\n “Brighton and Hove can be an even better cycling city with continuing investment from the Council.”\n<\/p>\n
\n Due to growing demand, this year\u2019s Kidical Mass will feature two rides, one in Brighton and one in Hove.\n<\/p>\n
\n The Brighton route will include feeder rides from Preston Park (south) at 12pm and The Level at 12.15pm.\n<\/p>\n
\n Riders will head to Stanmer Park for Apple Harvest Day, arriving at 1pm.\n<\/p>\n
\n The return journey begins at 3.45pm, heading back to The Level and Preston Park.\n<\/p>\n
\n The Hove ride features four feeder routes: Hove Cemetery (Old Shoreham Road) and Hove Park (south) both at 1.45pm, and Wish Park (east) and Stoneham Park at 2pm.\n<\/p>\n
\n These will converge at Hove Beach Park on the seafront, where a large circular ride through Hove will begin at 2.30pm.\n<\/p>\n
\n Iliana Koutsou from Bricycles said: “Too many mums and dads don’t feel comfortable using bicycles on our roads.\n<\/p>\n
\n “Once children are too big for pushchairs, parents have no choice but to use their cars to get around.\n<\/p>\n
\n “Our city can be improved with new cycle lanes, so people have the confidence to swap four wheels for two.”\n<\/p>\n
\n The rides are free, open to all, and marshalled for safety.\n<\/p>\n
\n They move at a gentle pace to ensure everyone can keep up.\n<\/p>\n
\n Children must be accompanied by an adult.\n<\/p>\n
\n Participants are encouraged to sign up on Eventbrite (Brighton or Hove) to help organisers plan for numbers.\n<\/p>\n
\n Volunteers are needed for the event. Anyone interested in helping as a marshal can email volunteer@brightonbikehub.org.\n<\/p>\n
\n More information is available on the Bricycles website at bricycles.org.uk.\n<\/p>\n
\n Previous rides have attracted hundreds of children and adults.\n<\/p>\n
\n Kidical Mass in Brighton and Hove is organised by Bricycles, Brighton Bike Hub, Brighton Multicultural Women’s Cycle Club, Clean Air for Brighton & Hove and Old Shoreham Road (OSR) Bike Train.\n<\/p>\n
\n The event is funded by Cycling UK\u2019s Big Bike Revival.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The call comes as part of the Kidical Mass campaign, and ahead of the latest Kidical Mass rides…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":147339,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[4985,101,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-147338","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-cycling","8":"tag-cycling","9":"tag-sports","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom","12":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/147338","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=147338"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/147338\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/147339"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=147338"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=147338"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=147338"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
