Bike "Roadeo" in its 37th year

The Lindsay Optimist Club of Ontario performed the 37th Annual Bike Roadeo for children on May 1.  The "Roadeo" offers safety demonstrations and also gives a little competition with an obstacle course.

Firemen were on hand to help with helmet fitting and police officers assisted with bike safety checks.  Helmets were given to children who were without or who had ill-fitting ones.  Six bicycles were given away and every participant, 97 in all, were given bike-related prizes to take home.

An awesome thing about a bike rodeo is the ability to involve children of all ages.  Shown here is fire prevention officer Tim Woodrow.  Submitted picture and story.
