Newton Bike Rodeo
When: Sunday, May 1st
Who: Grades K-6
Where: Newton South High School

Celebrate safe biking in Newton at the Bike Rodeo!  MA Safe Routes to Schools instructors will teach and review bike riding skills.  Volunteers from Bike Newton will also help teach fun stations including knowing signs and hand signals, how to care for your bike, and more.

This program is geared towards students in Kindergarten through 6th grade at Newton Schools that are comfortable riding a bike independently.  In order to participate:
-Each child needs to bring their own bike.  Please make sure the bike fits the child and is in usable condition (chain is intact, brakes work, tires are not flat, etc)
-Each child needs to bring and wear a properly fitting helmet.
-Each child must have a parent or adult present for the duration of the program.  Adults, we want you to learn the skills your child is learning so you can help to reinforce the skills learned when you go home.

If you’d like your kids to participate, then sign them up ASAP (after 7:00 p.m. when registration opens). Last year registration filled within a few hours!

Register yourself as a volunteer here to fill out the waiver.

Then sign up to volunteer for a shift or two. The shifts are overlapping so you’ll learn from the prior shift. The first shift will help set up and the final shift will help clean up.
