UPDATE: Weekend Biking Event for Peoplez with Kidz!

Two events this weekend:

May 3: The ABCs of Family Biking at the Capitol Hill Montessori School from 11AM-2PM brought to you by Kidical Mass DC. Events include all of the following except for a few of extra things which I made up and added to the list for laughs:
  • A Show & Tell to talk to area parents who bike with children of all ages
  • Bicycles and equipment available at local bike shops to help parents bike safely with their children 
  • Frame welding for kids!
  • Free Youth Bike course with WABA instructors to teach basic riding skills to children.
  • Parents & Kids Riding class to help parents bike alongside their kids, either alone or in a “bike train” group.
  • Balance bike races for our youngest riders
  • Baby aerohelmet fitting
  • A cargo bike obstacle course where interested parents can test demonstration bikes and experienced family cyclists can pits their skills against one another in the East Coast’s first-ever “Fiets of Parenthood” competition
  • Silent auction to win autographed copy of of a book by some Flemish junior race you've never heard of
  • The opportunity for parents to “Swap or Sell” their gently used family biking equipment 
  • Free bike repair clinics from The Bike House
May 4: UPDATE: everything I previously wrote about the Kidical Mass Arlington ride was wrong. Sorry! THIS IS THE REASON THAT YOU SHOULD NOT WRITE BLOG POSTS BEFORE DRINKING COFFEE. I apologize. Here is some correct (and current) information about Kidical Mass Arlington's spring and summer schedule:
