About this event

  • 2 hours

Welcome to the Buckeye Lake Tri-County Kid's Bike Safety Rodeo! Join us on May 11, 2024 at the Our Lady of Mount Carmel parking lot for a fun-filled day of learning about bike safety. Kids ages 5-10, who are able to ride a bike without training wheels, will have the chance to participate in various activities and games to improve their biking skills. This in-person event is a great opportunity for children to have a blast while learning to stay safe on their bikes. The goal of this event is to promote cycling proficiency, safe riding and fun in our community. Don't miss out on this exciting event! There is limited space available, so register today!

Each kid who is registered for this and attends this FREE event will receive a free properly fitted helmet and swag bag. Those completing the Bike Rodeo Course will be entered into a drawing for a brand new bike!

Maximum entry and participation in the rodeo is one adult or guardian of 18 years of age or older with 2 children, including any child staying with the parent or guardian but not participating in the event.

While there is no cost for this event, we ask that you register only if you and your child can attend as registration slots are limited. If your plans change and you will not be able to make it, please let us know by emailing us at info@bikebuckeyelake.org which will create an opportunity for another child waiting to participate.

In order for a child to participate in this event, they must bring a rideable bike and a parent or guardian (18 years of age or older) who can stay with the child for the entire event. A child arriving without either one of these will not be permitted to participate.

The rain date for the event is May 18, 2024.

Check in closes at 11:30am on the morning of the event.

Frequently asked questions

Do parents or their designated guardian need to come?

Yes. Only children who are accompanied by an adult will be allowed to participate in the rodeo. If a registered child arrives without a parent or guardian, they will be given the opportunity to return with one. If unable to do so, will not be able to participate in the event.

Does my child need a bike to participate?

Only children who bring a rideable bike without training wheels will be able to participate in the bike safety rodeo course.

I want to bring multiple kids. Do I need to register each child?

Each child participating will need to be registered separately. Please note that there is a 2 child limit, including any child staying with the parent or guardian but not participating in the event.

What if it's raining on May 11th?

An event such as this requires much advance planning, site preparation and volunteers but the safety of everyone is our primary concern. The Bike Rodeo Planning Committee will determine if, on the day of the event or rain date, the weather is an issue related to safety, and may elect to postpone.

Why does registration ask for my child's age?

Staff will determine, based on the child's age, bike maneuvering skills and riding locations if they will complete both the basic and advanced course stations.

Why does registration ask for my child's name?

We request this in the interest of safety for your child. We are also considering pre-printing certificates of completion.
