Safety on wheels is fun for all

Optimist Club Bike Rodeos are a way to connect your Optimist Club with the children in the community. Most important, they allow  children the opportunity to meet with police officers on friendly, helpful terms.

The Optimist Club of Chehalis-Centralia, Washington held their annual bicycle rodeo on June 18 and as you can see in the pictures, none were too young to participate. They also welcomed one young lady in a wheelchair, and were able to teach safety on wheels to all.

Helmets were given away to those who needed them and at the end of the event, all participants received goody bags. Three young cyclists had their names drawn at random to take home new bicycles courtesy of the Optimist Club.
