Optimist Clubs promote bicycle safety

   Isn't this fun?    I found this entry today at ExploreBaltimoreCounty.com:

An article in the April 28, 1960, edition of the Herald Argus and Baltimore Countian noted a successful safety event for kids.

The Catonsville Optimist Club was host to 90 children of the Catonsville area last Saturday, April 23, for the annual bicycle safety inspection sponsored by the club.

The inspection, conducted by members of the Optimist Club, was held on the Catonsville junior high school grounds.

Safety stickers were attached to all those that passed the inspection. Free soft drinks and doughnuts were distributed to all children participating. James B. Murray was chairman of the affair.

Across the country this weekend the Worthington Optimist Club in Minnesota was one of many Optimist Clubs holding a safety event this month.  Shown in the picture are Schianna Baumgartner and Optimist Club member Steve Bassett.

You know the project is just right when it stands the test of time.  Bicycle rodeos and safety events do just that.
