After two years of being unable to hold a children’s bike rodeo, the Wallaceburg Bike Rodeo Committee has organized a bike rodeo for Saturday, June 18, 2022.
“The Wallaceburg Bike Rodeo is an annual bike safety course for children,” organizers say.
“We believe it is important to keep our children safe. A bike rodeo will help teach children the appropriate cycling skills and to create awareness of bike safety for both children and parents. It is a fun way for children to learn the rules of the roads; give them confident in riding their bike and feel the independence riding a bike can give them.”
Children will be rewarded for their participation and earn a chance to win a variety of raffle style prizes, door prizes, grand prizes and a bike/scooter raffle.
“This year, the Knights of Pythias will be hosting the Bike Rodeo in Bethel Pentecostal Church Parking lot in partnership with the, Chatham-Kent Police, CKPL Wallaceburg Branch, and Wallaceburg Biking Community, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.,” organizers say.
“Children 13 and under are invited to come join in the fun. Just bring a bike, helmet and a parent. Parents, if your child is able to pedal a bike this event if for them, don’t let them miss out on learning how to safely ride their bikes in a fun and exciting way.”
