SBC and Pooler Lions club offer bike rodeo on June 14

Bike RodeoThe Savannah Bicycle Campaign and the Pooler Lions Club will offer a fun, free Bicycle Rodeo designed for kids aged six to 12 on Saturday, June 14 from 10 a.m. – noon. The rodeo will be held at West Chatham Middle School, 800 Pine Barren Road in Pooler.

Interested in volunteering to help with this event? Register here.

The bike rodeo includes a safety inspection and a series of skills stations directly related to everyday bicycling situations. Participants will  practice starting and stopping, the safe way to exit a driveway, how to look for traffic, negotiate an intersection, and avoid common road hazards. The goal is to provide an opportunity for the participants to learn, practice and demonstrate their bicycle handling skills in an enjoyable, noncompetitive atmosphere, with certified bicycle instructors.

Rodeo participants  must bring a bicycle, a helmet, and a signed permission slip (Registration Form).

All Pre-Registered participants will be entered into a no-cost raffle. The grand prize is a
$200 bicycle as well as many other bicycle related prizes. Must be present to win. Only Pre-
Registered participants will be eligible for the raffle.

In honor of Flag Day on June 14, the West Chatham American Legion will be collecting used
flags for proper retirement.
