For young bicyclists from kindergarten to age 14 a Bike Safety Rodeo. This event will educate parents and children about the safety aspects of riding a bicycle on streets and roads. The goal is to empower young cyclists with skills for on-road riding and teach them rules of the road that will help keep them safe.
This safety clinic will consist of bike safety inspections, helmet fitting, a short lecture on "Rules of the Road" and a ride on a miniature "chalk street" course set up in the parking lot.
Sessions will be ongoing throughout the day and each session will last approximately 45 minutes.
Participants will receive a Safety Certificate.
For motorcycle riders....Motorcycle Safety Sessions
Riding Straight
This session provides informative and motivating details on motorcyclists choices about separating drinking and riding activities. Hands-on training includes putting on the Fatal Vision Simulator Goggles, walking a straight line and experiencing the effects alcohol can have.
Seasoned Rider
The goal of this session is to acquaint participants with the general effects of aging on the skills necessary to ride safely, and to encourage active steps to become increasingly safe and responsible motorcyclists.
Sharing the Road
This session will raise awareness for drivers of all vehicles on how to better share the road with motorcycles. If you have, or are, a teen driver this session is particularly enlightening and helpful to promote safe driving.
Group Riding
Great session on riding with groups and events of all sizes. You’ll learn tips to prepare, how to communicate with the group and ride in a safe formation. As we head in to a season of riding events this session is very timely and useful for all riders no matter the level of riding experience.
For everyone...
