Bike Rodeo - August 25, 2007
BINGHAMTON, NY - The Broome County Traffic Safety Program invites all kids ages 5 and up to join us for a bike rodeo and skills clinic during the 2007 Chris Thater Memorial Race.
The event will take place at Recreation Park in the rear parking lot facing Laurel Ave., Saturday, August 25th, from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Bicycle rodeos provide bicyclists with an opportunity to practice and develop their riding techniques that will help them become better bicyclists and avoid typical crashes. Bike rodeos give participants a chance to learn, practice and demonstrate their bicycle handling skills in a fun, noncompetitive atmosphere.
Children who would like to participate must bring their parent, a bicycle and an approved helmet. Free helmet fittings, bike inspections and bicycle safety education/guidance will be provided. The first 50 kids will receive a free bicycle helmet! Each entry will also receive a Certificate of Merit from the Broome County Executive and a free ticket to the STOP-DWI Holiday Classic.
For more information about this event, please call Christine Muss at 607.778.2807.
