Sponsor requirements for a typical Bike Rodeo for 20 to 50 youth are provided below and can be tailored to your objectives and goals.

• Set a date and a time that would include about 1½ to 2 hours for Rodeo operation, plus 30 minutes on each end for setup and take down.
• Find and reserve a space of suitable size, typically a square or rectangular asphalt area of at least 30 meters x 40 meters (100 feet x 130 feet – think vacant parking lot or school playground hardtop).
• Provide assurance that a minimum of about 20 youth riders would likely participate.
• Provide a minimum of 8 volunteers to assist at Bike Rodeo Stations, including check-in and finish line treats.
• Publicize the Rodeo, including instructions on what participants will need to bring (e.g. bicycle and helmet).
• Provide a $250 donation to BPAC to cover costs, including liability insurance and donations to Phoenix Bikes and VeloCity Bicycle Cooperative.

Additional consideration: Most sponsors provide Finish line treats, e.g. healthy snacks and drinks.
