Annual Bike Safety Rodeo and Safe Kids Day
July 29, 2019 at 12:37 p.m.
St. Lawrence Rehabilitation Center, Lawrenceville, will hold its annual Bicycle Safety Rodeo and Safe Kids Day May 7 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. The purpose of the event is to provide children ages 3-12 and their families with an opportunity to learn about safety and prevention while participating in sports or other recreational activities.
The day will include bicycle inspections by the Economy Bike Shop and the Lawrenceville Police Department. Bicycle tires, frames, handlebars, chain guards and reflectors are checked, and parents receive a check-list for each bike indicating if anything needs to be repaired. Children receive a free bike helmet, which is fitted by one of the St. Lawrence Rehabilitation Center’s therapists. They may ride a bicycle safety course, which is organized by the police department, where they illustrate knowledge of traffic signs, hand signals, parked cars and how to avoid unexpected obstacles.
St. Lawrence Rehabilitation Center will also give away a limited number of personal flotation devices for children up to 90 pounds.
There will be many interactive safety games and exhibits, including the Trenton Thunder moon bounce, and a visit by Thunder mascot, Boomer.
Children must pre-register in order to receive a free bike helmet and bike inspection. Register by email at [email protected] (preferred) or by phone at 609-896-0500, ext. 2212.
