Bike Rodeo

We're planning a bike rodeo on Saturday September 26th from 10:00 am - 12:00 pm at the school for students in grades 3-6.

A Bike Rodeo is a fun, hands-on bicycle safety event designed primarily for children and young riders. It gives kids a chance to practice riding skills, learn road rules, and ensure their equipment is safe to ride.

Core Stations:

  1. Safety Checks: Helmet fitting and bike inspections.
  2. Handling Skills: Balance, maneuvering, and obstacle courses.
  3. Rules of the Road: Traffic signs, signals, safe practices, and hand signals.
  4. Community Skills: Roadway navigation, vehicle, and pedestrian awareness

Bring your child, their bike and helmet and feel free to join us for this fun event!
