August in Montgomery County can only mean one thing:  THE FAIR!  Join Bike Gaithersburg for its August Kidical Mass Gaithersburg ride as we ride to the Montgomery County Agricultural Fair.  We will meet at 10 am in Market Square in Kentlands near Thai Tanium and Crepes A Go Go.  We will ride along shared use paths and low level traffic streets.

What is Kidical Mass??  Kidical Mass Gaithersburg aims to support families in everyday use of bicycling.  Based on successful efforts in other cities, including DC and Arlington locally, the aim is to have monthly rides that are social, casually paced and FUN.  We also will raise awareness of the possibilities for safer bike routes in the community and guide folks to the easiest ways to navigate the community by bike.  While the ride is geared toward families, anyone is welcome to join. The rides also an opportunity to learn about equipment and resources to help make bicycling as a family safe and fun.  It’s also a great way to meet other families that enjoy bicycling..

If you are unable to make July’s ride, don’t worry.  Kidical Mass Gaithersburg rides are held every month through November.
