ADFC Kidical Mass: Streets are for everyone!

On Sunday, 7 May 2023, the Bicycle Club will host the 9th edition of the event. Kidical Mass in Wiesbaden. Meeting point is at 15:00 on the Dernsches site. At the Children's Bicycle Corso, the young traffic participants and their parents can cycle comfortably and safely through Wiesbaden's streets for over an hour. The destination is the slaughterhouse area.

In a short break, the little cyclists expect a strengthening surprise from the cooperative "Gemeinschaftlich Wohnen", on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the housing project Blü17.
Already on Friday, May 5, between 16:00 and 18:00, Blü17 invites you to tinker with signs in the courtyard at Blücherstraße 17.

Part of a nationwide action weekend

On the action days from 5 to 7 May 2023, tens of thousands of people cycle in over 400 places. From the metropolitan region to rural areas, people are campaigning for safe school paths and independent mobility. For the children, this means not having to be brave for a short moment to cycle on the road. Fabian Heil, initiator of the Kidical Mass, puts it in a nutshell: ‘Children have a right to move safely, independently and protected. Only when we focus on children and vulnerable people in transport policy do we create a future-oriented design of public space for all. Cities such as Paris, Ghent and Utrecht are now doing it and changing the transport system quickly and efficiently. We want to do the same in Wiesbaden!”
