Bicycle Safety Rodeos

A Bike Rodeo is usually a children's bicycle safety clinic featuring helmet fitting, the rules of the road, and a safety course where children get a chance to practice stopping at stop signs, going around obstacles (cones), and using proper turn signals. The participants are usually escorted through the course by knowledgeable adult cyclists who point out hazards, safety tips, and explain how to apply the rules of the road that were mentioned in the lecture. The main focus of a bike rodeo is Cycling Safety for young cyclists, ages kindergarten to 14 or so.

Participants leave the rodeo with a Bicycle Safety Coloring Book, Certificate of Achievement, and a helmet (if they didn't have one already). Charleston Moves sponsors Bike Rodeos during the week of the Charleston Cycle Fest and as other opportunities arise.

If you are interested in organizing a bicycle safety rodeo in your school or community center contact info@charlestonmoves.org for support.
