The Bike Rodeo is designed to give children the opportunity to build their bike-riding skills while learning important safety practices in a fun, hands-on environment. Participants will make their way through interactive obstacle courses while learning skills such as signaling, stopping and safely navigating streets. Helmet fittings and basic bike checks will also be offered as part of the program.
“Events like the Bike Rodeo are a great way to get kids outside, active and learning skills that they can use every time they get on their bike,” said Brittany Heffler, Program Coordinator and Co-Chair of the Mayor's Wellness Campaign. “We're excited to bring together Recreation, our Police Department and Avenues in Motion to make bike safety fun and approachable for our kids and families.”
The event supports the Mayor's Wellness Campaign's continued efforts to provide programs that encourage healthy, active lifestyles while also giving families practical tools to stay safe in the community.
The Bike Rodeo is free to attend, but registration is required through Community Pass. Families are encouraged to register early. For questions or assistance with registering, call Recreation at 973-428-2463.
