Reminder Free Bicycle Rodeo Saturday 2-4pm at Sunset Park

The free Bicycle Rodeo scheduled for June 1, 2019, at Sunset Park, from 2 to 4 PM, is an engaging event aimed at teaching safe bicycle riding skills to children aged five to twelve. Participants will navigate an obstacle course designed to replicate real-life riding scenarios, allowing them to practice crucial skills like scanning for vehicles and avoiding common road hazards. The event will have volunteers on hand to assist with helmet and bicycle fittings, ensuring that all participants have properly equipped bikes. Parents are required to sign a waiver for their children to join, emphasizing the importance of safety throughout the event. Children should bring their own bikes and helmets, although a limited supply of helmets will be available for those without.

By fostering safe riding practices, the Bicycle Rodeo not only enhances the skills of young cyclists but also promotes a culture of safety within the community. This initiative reflects the local commitment to encouraging healthy outdoor activities for families while addressing important safety concerns. The event serves as a perfect platform for parents to engage with their children in learning how to ride safely and confidently.
