What is the route and where does it start
The ride starts at Portal dos Arcos Coloridos in Bacacheri Park, at Rua Paulo Nadolny, 136. The 8 km route will go through streets in the Bacacheri area. The Guia Curitiba listing classifies the route as easy.
The Guia Curitiba event page shows the activity window beginning at 8:30 a.m. and ending at noon, while also stating that the ride starts at 9:00 a.m. sharp. Arriving early can make it easier to find the meeting point and get the child and bicycle ready.
Who can participate
The ride is designed for children and their families. The minimum age set by the organizers is 7. Children must be accompanied by a parent or guardian, so minors are not expected to take part on their own.
Along the route, riders will be supported by traffic agents, the Municipal Guard and teams from Curitiba's Municipal Department of Sports, Leisure and Youth. Organizers also recommend safety equipment, especially a helmet, and advise participants to use bicycles in good working condition.
How to register
Registration remains available through Guia Curitiba. The listing identifies Pedala Tour Matinal Kids as a free, in-person event that requires registration.
- Open the event page on Guia Curitiba.
- Check the October 18, 2026 session.
- Follow the registration option and enter the requested information.
- Read and accept the terms shown by the system before completing registration.
Because the event was rescheduled, it is worth checking the official page again before leaving home in case the organizers publish additional operational guidance before the ride.
What to consider before deciding
The route is short compared with other Pedala Curitiba rides and is classified as easy, but a child should still be comfortable riding 8 km in an urban setting with an accompanying adult. A helmet, a checked bicycle, water and arriving early can help make the experience smoother.
In short, the rescheduling did not change the event's core format: Pedala Tour Kids remains free, with an 8 km route in Bacacheri, a minimum age of 7 and mandatory adult supervision for participating children.
