Mat-Su Regional Medical Center’s annual Bicycle Safety Rodeo for 2019 will take place Saturday, June 22, at the Menard Sports Complex, from 10AM to noon.
This year’s event will include free drawings for bicycles and bicycle helmets will be given away to the first 100 attendees. It will also feature a bicycle obstacle course, presentations from medical professionals and safety experts and equipment safety checks by Backcountry Bike and Ski and Alaska Bicycle Center. Be sure to bring your personal bicycle and helmet in order to receive a safety check.
Last year’s bike rodeo was attended by more than 250 children and parents, according to event organizers. The rodeo is designed for riders of all ages, but is specifically targeted toward younger riders. There will be free snacks, refreshments, promotional items and other fun giveaways.
The Bicycle Safety Rodeo is sponsored by Mat-Su Regional Medical Center, the City of Wasilla and the Curtis Menard Sports Center.
