In Lisbon, the Children's Critical Mass will take place on Sunday, September 25th, with the meeting point at 10:30am in London Square.
Kidical Mass is back next weekend, September 24th and 25th. Dozens of children, accompanied by adults, will take to the streets and pedal for safer and healthier streets for them and for everyone.
Organized by volunteers in different locations, Kidical Mass is a "global movement that seeks to respond to and give visibility to the need and desire of children and adults to use active modes in their daily commuting (cycling, walking, rollerblading, skateboarding, etc.), demanding the improvement of cycling infrastructure and the pacification of streets, especially in school surroundings".
In Portugal, the first Kidical Mass took place in May in more than 20 locations around the country; the intention is to have two editions a year, one in this month and one now in September, next weekend.
