Event: Bike Rodeo - April 28, 2011 at 6:30pm at Rosy
Why a Bike Rodeo?
Remember the feeling of first learning to ride a bicycle on your own—without training wheels and without a parent's balancing hand? Remember that sudden rush of freedom? If you have to strain to think back that far, well, maybe it's time to strap on a helmet and saddle up. Because not only is bicycling fun and freeing, it's an excellent way to get healthy exercise.
Bicycling, however, is not without its risks. A Bicycle skills event is designed to teach bicyclists the skills they need in order to be better cyclists. By learning bike handling and traffic skills, one can enjoy bicycling more and reduce the chance of injury. What to expect?
This event is made up of a series of stations, each dealing with an important aspect of safe cycling. Participants will have their helmets fitted, bicycles inspected by Breakaway Bicycles and will then learn about and practice bicycle-handling skills that will increase their enjoyment of bicycling and could some day save their lives. There will also be fun stations/prizes. Parents are invited to participate, too.
What to bring?
Your bike and, of course, your helmet!
