August 28, 2013 (La Mesa) – The La Mesa Human Relations Commission and La Mesa Walk-n-Roll Safe Routes Program is sponsoring a bicycle skills event designed to teach children the skills they need in order to be better cyclists. By learning bike handling and traffic skills, one can enjoy bicycling more and reduce the chance of injury.
Children of all ages are invited to attend the Bicycle Rodeo on Saturday, August 31 from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. at the Nan Couts Cottage located at 5045 Memorial Drive, La Mesa, CA 91942. This event is made up of a series of stations, each one dealing with an important aspect of safe cycling. Participants will have their bicycles inspected by professionals from Performance Bicycle and will then learn about and practice bicycle-handling skills that will increase their enjoyment of bicycling. Bicycle safety education will be taught by the San Diego Bicycle Coalition and La Mesa Police Department. The event will wrap up with refreshments provided by the La Mesa Lions Club, and a raffle for two new bicycles with helmets. Participants must bring their own bicycle and helmet.
