The Waunakee Village Center is partnering with Dreambikes, Waunakee Police Department and Waunakee Neighborhood Connection to offer a free community bike rodeo and donation event!!! The Bike Rodeo is designed to promote safe riding habits and skills for younger riders. Participants are typically elementary to intermediate school age (5-12). Participants will ride their bike through a series of courses that help them to develop skills to avoid typical crashes as well as learning to watch their surroundings for traffic, other riders, road hazards etc. All participants are given a checklist and if completed they enter a drawing and win a prize! Prizes bought and paid for by the Waunakee Police Department. Prizes include: Helmets, locks, lights and other bike related items. The Bike Rodeo is a great way for officers to interact in a positive way with the youth of our community. DreamBike’s trained staff will be available to inspect all of the bikes and offer simple fixes on site. Bicycle crashes can happen for many reasons and improper bike maintenance is one of those reasons. Simple things like a loose chain, tire and brake cable or even non-functioning brakes can be a major cause of a crash. These crashes can be prevented through simple maintenance.
