Bike Rodeo

Youth Bike Safety, Skills, and Education: Ages 5 to 17

Come to our San Francisco Bike Rodeo! We are excited to partner with the California Highway Patrol, San Francisco Fire Department, and many more agencies for this event. At this event, youth will:

1. Learn important bike safety lessons - including navigating traffic, using hand signals, and riding safely on San Francisco's streets and bikeways.
2. Have their bike and helmet inspected - mechanics will be on-hand to help scouts adjust their helmets to a proper fit, and inspect their bikes for any safety concerns.
3. Go for a short bike ride - we'll take the kids (and family members!) on a short bike ride around the Lakeshore neighborhood, with a longer (family-led) option that goes around Lake Merced. 
4. Test out a MUNI Bus Bike Rack - Ever wanted to use the bike racks on a MUNI bus but were afraid of holding up the bus? We'll have a bus on hand so you can practice with zero stress!
5. We will have a special Golden Gate Area Council Bike Rodeo Activity Patch for those who complete an activity! 

If you want to get your youth more comfortable with biking in a group, this is the perfect event!
