Children’s Bike Safety Rodeo Set for May 26

KETCHUM, Idaho – A free Bike Rodeo, designed to teach bicycle safety to children of all ages, will be held on Saturday, May 26, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the parking lot of the Wood River Community YMCA, 101 Saddle Road. Sponsors are the Ketchum Police Department and Higher Ground Sun Valley.

Ketchum police officers will conduct safety tests and monitor an obstacle course, and mechanics from local bicycle shops will perform safety inspections on children’s bicycles. Partnering in this event are volunteers from the Higher Ground Sun Valley adaptive sports program. All will help children decorate their bicycles if they wish.

Children participating should bring their own bicycles and helmets. The police department will provide a helmet if a child does not have one. Snacks, juice and coffee will be available, and there will be prizes and safety items for bicycles.
