Wrangler Bike Safety Rodeo

The Wrangler Bike Safety Rodeo is a fun, interactive event that teaches basic safety skills, providing a foundation for riding independently in our community.

Date: September 24th, 2011

Time:
9:00-11:00 (Rodeo) Kids and parents learn about bicycle maintenance, Texas bike laws, and safe biking practices

11:00-12:00 (Neighborhood Roll) Kids and parents apply their learning on a supervised neighborhood ride (20 persons per group).

Location: Roscoe-Wilson Elementary School Playground and Tech Terrace neighborhood (for the Neighborhood Roll.)

Participants: Roscoe-Wilson Elementary students and their families

Requirements: Bring your bike and helmet and bike riding clothes. Drinks and snacks provided. Participants must sign a Release Form http://www.biketexas.org/en/component/docman/doc_download/80-release-form-template

Riders and families will learn, as they go through the course (maybe even more than once) the basics of: bike rules, helmet fitting, bike maintenance, basic riding skills and decision making on a course. Riders can then apply what they’ve learned on a supervised neighborhood roll. In groups of 20 or so (3 leaders per group on an identified course) students will use their new skills.
