Instructors from the League of American Bicyclists will show children how to safely ride while also helping them to improve their bike handling skills.

The day’s events will include bike safety checks, slalom courses and slow races. Instructors will also show children power starting and stopping techniques, how to improve balance and more.

Children must be from 5-10-years-old and be able to ride a two-wheel bicycle. They should bring their own bicycles and wear a helmet.
