Bike Rodeos are events where youth advance their bicycle riding skills and safety practices while having fun riding through a series of rodeo stations.  Participant ages range from about 5 to 14.  A typical bike rodeo includes these stations:

• Helmet fitting and bicycle checks
• Starting and stopping drills
• Scanning for stop signs, crosswalks, cars, pedestrians, and potential dangers while riding streets
• Using hand signals for turning and stopping
• Riding through slalom courses and figure eights
• The dangers of driveways and intersections and how to navigate them
• Riding over bumpy roads and ramps

We team with Phoenix Bikes, the VéloCity Bicycle Cooperative and other local bike shops to lead Bicycle Rodeos for interested host groups such as Parent Teacher Associations, Scout troops, community event planners, and Homeowner Associations.  Bicycle mechanics from Phoenix and VéloCity check each participant’s bicycle, making adjustments and minor repairs to assure safe operations.  BPAC and host group volunteers who guide riders through each station, teaching them skills and safety practices.
