Bike Rodeo

The Buffalo Grove Police Department hosts their annual village-wide bike rodeo geared for children ages 5 - 12 years old in conjunction with National Bicycle Safety Month. While promoting bike safety, the rules of the road and the importance of wearing helmets will also be discussed. Several stations will be set up for the children to learn about proper bike handling and safety. Volunteers from the Wheeling Wheelmen Cycling Club will show kids and their parents how to make sure their helmets fit properly. Local bike shop mechanics will make sure each bike is operating properly with the right tire pressure and fully functioning brakes. There will be obstacle courses for the kids to test their skills. This is a fun event for the whole family.

This event is free, Kids will receive safety brochures, pencils, key chains and a participation ribbon. There will also be a raffle for a boy's and a girl's bike.

Register upon arrival. Rain date is May 21 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
