SARATOGA SPRINGS —SCCSD Bike Rodeo will be happening Saturday May 7th from 9am-12pm. Kids can come get their bikes checked out before Bike-to-School Day on May 20th. The Bike Rodeo will take a look at the kids bikes tires, if they are in the right size bike for their height and will help with general safety with bike riding. Kids and their families can show up at the Eastside rec on Saturday and go through several biking stations; bike registry with the SSPD, a bike tune-up station, a helmet fitting station, a hand signaling station, and finally will ride through a bike obstacle course. You can use Sign-Up Genius Link for a time. Other information to know is for parents to accompany your children, wear a helmet (there will be a supply of helmets donated for those in need), minor adjustments and repairs are only available and any bikes needing major work will be referred to a bike shop. This event will allow kids to learn and practice safe bike riding in a controlled, developmentally-appropriate setting and have a lot of fun while doing it.
There will be parking available at Caroline St. School and St. Clement’s School but will be limited. All kids participating in the event can fill out a raffle ticket for a chance to win a new kids’ bike from Trek Bicycles (Up to $350) plus other smaller prices.
