Learn all the rules of the road as a bicyclist in our obstacle course! A Bike Rodeo is a fun, hands-on way to learn how to handle a bike safely. Trained instructors will teach critical skills, and stations are available for students to get info and encouragement for bike riding.

Participants will have helmets and bikes checked for proper fit and safety, followed by brief group instruction, and then test their bike handling and safety knowledge. Participants will earn a Certificate of Achievement at the end. There will be lots of fun and useful stations to stop at along the way! 

Participants should bring a rideable bike, close-toed shoes, and a helmet. Can't afford a helmet, or your kid's doesn't fit anymore? Some will be available thanks to a generous donation by Boston Children's Injury Prevention.

Expect to spend one hour or less at the Rodeo. The obstacle course portion is about 30 minutes long, and completing all the other important stations may take 30+ minutes depending on how much time you spend at each (helmet fit, bike fit, bike safety check up, and more). Parents/guardians must stay on-site with their children during this event and are encouraged to check out each station!   

* Adjustments and discounts will be applied during checkout if applicable. *
