The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) is partnering with the Grove City Police Department and the Highway Safety Network to host a free children's bicycle rodeo on Saturday, June 1, 2024, from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM at Grove City Memorial Park.
Young cyclists will have the opportunity to learn skills that make them safer riders through a series of stations focused on bicycle maintenance, proper helmet fitting and usage, and a skills-based obstacle course.
Children up to the age of 12 are encouraged to attend. All attendees should bring a bicycle and a helmet. A limited number of free helmets will be available to those who do not have one or have a damaged helmet that is deemed unsafe upon inspection.
Riders are encouraged to wear weather-appropriate clothing and shoes that cover the entire foot.
Pre-registration is available on the Grove City Police Bicycle Rodeo Facebook event page or by clicking here. A parent or guardian must be present and accompany the participants throughout the event.
A free hot dog lunch will be provided to everyone in attendance, courtesy of the Grove City Police Department.
Additional support for the event will be provided by Gear Bicycle Sales.
