READING families braved the weekend heat to take part in a mass cycle on Saturday, July 16.
Around 30 people took part in the Kidical Mass’ ride, which started at Green Park Lime Square, and finished at Water Meadows.
Some children adopted positions in kids trailers, while others rode their own bikes.
Once the ride was complete, participants were treated to a picnic, cake and, for the younger riders, play.
Adults joined in when water pistols were introduced in an attempt to cool down.
The Mayor of Reading, Cllr Rachel Eden, and Caversham councillor Jacopo Lanzoni welcomed the cyclists at the finish line.
Kidical Mass hopes to encourage more families to take up cycling in their day to day lives, providing both mental, physical and environmental benefits.
Through the rides, the charity also wants to shed light on improvements that could be made to make cycling more accessible, particularly with regards to infrastructure.
