Cyclists of all ages pedalled their way through the Highland capital'scentre yesterday.
It was aimed at raising awareness and encouraging more people to get on their bikes, especially youngsters.
Parents and children from Kidical Mass around the country are looking for their councils to take action to enable more people to cycle by providing safe spaces to cycle, by installing segregated cycle lanes and closing roads to through traffic, to school streets and funded bikeability in schools.
Kidical Mass groups comprise parents and children who take part in regular bike rides to raise awareness of the barriers that people, in particular children, face to cycling.
They say the rides benefit all members of the community from wheelchair users to people with visual impairments.
The first live Inverness Kidical Mass ride of 2022 ran from Bellfield Park and finished at the Northern Meeting Park.
Everyone – all ages and abilities, with bikes, trikes, recumbent, tandem, scooters, wheelchairs or buggies – was made welcome in a "the more the merrier" message.
Kidical Mass is a worldwide organisation, of which the Inverness group is one of the newest additions.
