Oooo! I like that...and I also think that Saturday morning is great - unless you have a lot of tired adults from a long week, not to mention the Friday night critical mass the night before! But I think that it would take some experimenting. Did the other website say how other places have done it, what works, what doesn't work?

I was thinking Saturday mornings would be good as a way to get children away from the rot of TV/cartoons/advertising that is the usual fare for so many.
But perhaps we can't compete with that. If an afternoon time works better to get a good turn out then that's what we should do.
How about locations? When I first heard of Kidical Mass I thought the Tour De Fat ride and Palmer Square.

Hey Todd! Great idea! Let me know how I could help. I would think that having it maybe on the last Sunday afternoon of the month would be a great idea - so that bedtime/family time would not be too much of an issue. Very cool idea, and great way to get the next generation of activists involved. :)

Hi Howard, wow you got here fast. Not sure if you beat out my sending of the invites or not.
I wouldn't expect a first ride until Spring, but time flies and it could take until then to pick a ride time and meeting point and do enough promotion to get a decent turn out.
I found the family biking group and thought about pitching this there, but I wanted to be able to invite people widely specifically for getting a Kidical Mass ride started and not hijack the other group for that purpose.
