"Bike Safety Program and Rodeo" The Bike Rodeo is designed to teach the importance of bicycle safety and make grade school children aware of the dangers of riding a bike. The Bike Rodeo is an excellent opportunity to have "hands-on" with the children and teach them bicycle safety. The "Bike Safety Program and Rodeo" is first started with Officers with the Russell Police Department visiting the grade schools in the City of Russell, to talk about bicycle safety. The actual "Bike Rodeo" is held in the fall of the year. The "Bike Rodeo" is held in a blocked city street and would have obstacle courses set-up for the Bike Rodeo participants to ride through. Each participant also has his/her bikes inspected by local volunteers. Some minor repairs are also completed to some of the bikes. Towards the end of the "Bike Rodeo" a free barbecue is held for the participants, consisting of hot-dogs and iced tea. A drawing is also held and each participant is awarded a prize. Over 150 children participate in this event. The Russell Police Department would like to extend a special "Thank-You" to Mr. Kent Michel and all the teachers and staff of both elementary schools for their help in presenting this program to the youth of our area. |
