The Town of Rhinebeck Highway Department will hold a “Bike Rodeo” on Saturday, October 20, 2007 at the Highway Department facility located at 119 Rhinecliff Road, Rhinebeck.
The rodeo consists of a skills course, provided by AAA New York, which promotes bike safety for young riders. Riders have the opportunity to test their balancing, maneuvering, weaving and stopping skills. In addition to the skills course, there will be a raffle for a free bike helmet and light refreshments.
Participants must bring their own bikes and helmets and can have them checked by the Rhinebeck Police Department, which will be conducting inspections and giving demonstrations. This is an opportunity to learn the rules of the road in a very hands-on way. Each participant will receive an award certificate.
Children must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. To participate, register by calling the Highway Department at 845-876-6263. The event is free of charge.
The event is sponsored by the Town of Rhinebeck Highway Department and co-sponsored by the Town of Rhinebeck Recreation Department, the Rhinebeck Police Department and AAA, NY.
