BICYCLE RODEO TO BE HELD
Remember the feeling of first learning to ride a bicycle on your own—without training wheels and without a parent's balancing hand? Remember that sudden rush of freedom?
If you have to strain to think back that far, well, maybe it's time to strap on a helmet and saddle up. Because not only is bicycling fun and freeing, it's an excellent way to get healthy exercise. That's one of the reasons that sixty million Americans bicycle. Whether you're an avid mountain biker or simply trying to incorporate cycling into your daily routine, you too can reap the many health benefits of bicycling. Bicycling, however, is not without its risks. The St. Albans Police Department and your local St Albans Walmart are sponsoring a bicycle skills event designed to teach bicyclists the skills they need in order to be better cyclists. By learning bike handling and traffic skills, one can enjoy bicycling more and reduce the chance of injury.
The rodeo will be held on July 16th from 9am to 12pm at the St Albans Walmart, 700 Tuckers Way. Bicyclists aged eight to twelve are invited to attend. This event is made up of a series of stations, each dealing with an important aspect of safe cycling. Participants will have their bicycles inspected and will then learn about and practice bicycle-handling skills that will increase their
enjoyment of bicycling and could some day save their lives. Parents are invited to participate, and must be present with their children during the event. You must bring your own bicycles and safety equipment. Please pre register by sending an e-mail with the number of children that will be attending and their age to the following address, jason.wetherby@vermont.gov The St Albans Town and City Fire Departments will be on scene with some fire trucks for the kids to explore and to answer any questions you may have. There will be lots of activities so please stop by, even if its to just say hi!
