Join Jackson County Recreation from 2-5 p.m. Sunday, May 4, at Cullowhee Valley School for a bike rodeo.
This is a bicycle safety event where when you register you get a free helmet (while supplies last). All children will also be entered in a raffle to win a bike.
This event will have helmet fitting, bike fitting, bike repair station, bike borrow station (please bring your own bikes if you have them), Kona Ice, WCU Cycling Club at the advanced skills course and a beginner course.
Everyone riding must wear a helmet; there will be plenty given away. Kids can practice how to ride, the correct way to wear a helmet, learn road crossings, what size bike is correct for them, and how to ride in a big group. This event focuses on bicycle safety, riding in the right direction and getting helmets on riders.
Please bring your own bikes as the bike borrow station quickly has all of the bikes in use and there are a limited number for kids who do not have bikes at all.
