Description

From Lexington Recreation & Community Programs:

A Bike Rodeo is a fun, hands-on way to learn how to handle a bike safely through a variety of different stations and an obstacle course.

Participants will have helmets and bikes checked for proper fit, maintenance, and safety, followed by brief group instruction, practicing their bike handling and safety knowledge. Participants will earn a Certificate of Achievement at the end. There will be many fun, interactive, and educational stations along the way!

Participants should bring a rideable bike, wear close-toed shoes, and have a helmet. Free helmets will be available in case your child needs one.

Expect to spend about one hour at the Rodeo. (We sign people up in 30-minute segments for traffic-flow purposes). You will check in, visit all the stations, and then proceed to the obstacle course, before checking out and getting your Certificate and goody bag. The obstacle course portion is about 30 minutes long, and completing all the other stations may take 30+ minutes depending on how much time you spend at each (helmet fit, bike fit, bike maintenance check, helmet decorating, hand signals, road safety, etc.). 

Parents/guardians must stay on-site with their children during this event and are encouraged to check out each station!  

RAIN DATE will be Saturday, June 8 if necessary, same times/location.
