The City of Davis Safe Routes to School and Police departments are hosting a bike rodeo at Birch Lane as part of our school’s bicycle skills program. With the help of volunteers they will be conducting a Bike Rodeo on May 7th, 2025 at 1:35 pm. The bike rodeo is a simple and fun activity to teach your child important bicycle safety skills. The event consists of a number of stations that allow your child to learn and practice proper bicycling skills. In order for your child to participate, the following is required:
- You must review, sign, and return the attached release by May 6, 2025.
- Children must bring their own bike, wear a bicycle helmet and shoes that fasten, no flip-flops allowed.
- There will be a limited number of bicycles available to borrow on the day of the event. This is intended to include students who don't own a bike or can't reasonably get their bike to school. They will be loaned out on a first come, first served basis.
Parents and guardians: Birch Lane needs your help to empower students in grades K-6th with the tools they need to ride their bikes to school confidently. We are seeking volunteers who like working with kids and want to help kids learn the rules of the road and how to ride their bike in traffic.
Bike Rodeos are a great way to help kids. They are designed to be fun, interactive, and non-competitive. Help kids with learning their hand signals, helmet fitting, ABC quick check, stopping at Stop Signs and more.
When: Bike Rodeo on Wednesday, May 7 from 1:15pm - 2:45 pm
Where: Birch Lane Blacktop (by the bike racks)
