The lessons learned will help the child avoid injuries and how to follow the rules of the road. The program will provide bikes, helmets, props, signs, and the best in-structor in the country. Groups must provide at least 15 youth, a smooth surface (parking lot or basketball court) and some adult help.

The bike rodeo is a free event offered to all community centers.

The Bike Rodeo is approrpriate for children going into 3rd grade through 6th grade. The bike Rodeo will begin witha 45 minute saftey presentation. The presentation is offered to all children at the center. After the presen-tation the children will be broken up into groups of 20-25 kids. The groups will rotate in 45 minute increments through the outside portion of the Bike Rodeo. The outside portion consists of the children riding through a simulated road.Cancelations may be appropriate if the weather does not permit it safe to riide, i.e. rain and lightning.
