GPG + Kidical Mass Family-Friendly Ride to Greenfest Philly

Arrive at Greenfest Philly emissions-free with GoPhillyGo and Kidical Mass PHL!

GoPhillyGo and Kidical Mass are hosting a family-friendly bike ride to Greenfest Philly on Sunday, September 11. Greenfest Philly is the largest environmental festival in the Philadelphia area. With over 100 exhibitors and vendors, Greenfest is the place to learn about living sustainably while having fun! This event has something for everyone: shopping for local green wares, great food, live music, live demonstrations, kid-friendly activities, and more. Greenfest Philly will be held on Sunday, September 11, 2016 from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm in the historic Headhouse Square.

Anyone is welcome to ride with us; even adults without children. However, all children must have an adult accompany them. Kidical Mass riders follow all the rules of the road and tend to ride very slow. Meet-up is at 10:00 am on Sunday, September 11, at Fitler Square (23rd St. & Pine St.). From there we will ride together, on the road, 1.8 miles to Headhouse Row (2nd St. & Pine St.). This is an all-inclusive, beginner friendly ride and any kind of adult bicycle is welcome. For children, we discourage training wheels as our city streets aren't very smooth. We do not allow balance/push bikes or scooters on the ride. We will ride as slow as our slowest rider and will have a person who rides sweep in the back as well.

At Greenfest Philly, you will find restrooms, complimentary Philadelphia Insurance Companies bike valet (3rd St. & South St.), complimentary MOM's Organic Market healthy snacks, complimentary iced coffee and MOM's Organic Market Kids’ Corner featuring eco-friendly crafts and activities, games, and more. Additionally, Indego bike share is offering free rides for the first 30 minutes of a trip -- use code Greenfest16 at any Indego station. There will be no organized group trip back to Fitler Square.
