Sequim Youth bike rodeo set for Saturday
SEQUIM — The Olympic Peninsula Bicycle Alliance will hold its second annual bike rodeo Saturday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Helen Haller Elementary School, 350 W. Fir St., in Sequim.
The rodeo is for kids from kindergarten through fifth grade (ages 5-12). The event’s goal is to instruct area youth in the safe operation of bicycles and to give parents basic tools to keep their kids safe on their bikes.
Among the skills and lessons taught at the rodeo are safe and cooperative riding on roads and trails, bike handling skills, bike control, slow speed balance, steering, acceleration, stopping and leaning. Participants’ bicycles will be inspected and adjusted by area bicycle shop experts, helmets will be fitted properly and once cleared, children will be shown how to maneuver their bikes through a series of skill and safety events in a controlled environment and under the guidance of skilled area cyclists.
Parents/guardians must be present and sign a consent form.
