February 10, 2024 - Monkeyshine Hunting (and rogue hiding) Ride

 Kidical Mass is back in 2024 and we are excited to announce our first ride of the year!

Join us on Saturday, February 10 to partake in one of the best traditions Tacoma has to offer: the hunt for Monkeyshines.  If you aren't familiar with this tradition, you can read more about it. Bicycle riding is one of the best ways to explore the city and travel from park to park to hunt for 'shines, so we're doing a ride to do just that!

Tacoma Kidical Mass will continue to partner with 2nd Cycle and we will meet at the shop to craft our own rogue Monkeyshines on our ride. Then we will depart on a four to five mile bike ride about the central area of Tacoma, visiting parks, public spaces and hiding our works of art. Perhaps we'll even find a real Monkeyshine!

If you are able and interested in supporting the Monkeyshines tradition, please consider donating to their GoFundMe.

Kidical Mass bike rides encourage families to ride bikes safely in the street by following the Rules of the Road. We ride at a kid's pace and stay together in a group, stopping to regather when needed. This free event is open to riders of all ages.

Please note:

• Helmets are required for all riders for your safety and our insurance. (Contact us before the event if you need a free helmet.)
• All children must be accompanied by an adult.
• No training wheels or balance bikes on this route
• Dress for the weather and bring water if you need it
• Public restrooms are available at 2nd Cycle before and after the ride
• Snacks provided
