BIKE RODEO

Bike Rodeo / Rodeo en Bicicleta

Saturday, May 20, 10am-1pm

Join us at the Downtown Library for a fun-filled day at the Bike Rodeo! Kids will gain skills and confidence in our Safe Moves City experience, which simulates diverse traffic environments. Our age-appropriate bike rodeo teaches bike and pedestrian safety while having a blast. Bring your own bike and helmet, or borrow one on-site. Also, don't miss our storytime, Teen Makers craft, and the Bike Blender where we'll blend up healthy smoothies using pedal power! Swing by the BTWD Energizer Station for free goodies, including this year's Bike to Wherever Days musette bag. Go here for more info!

Sponsored by Friends of the Redwood City Public Library, S afe Routes to Schools, and Silicon Valley Bicycle Coalition.
