On June 8, Lions Coon Creek Park is where every kid with a bike's gonna want to be. The Coon Rapids Bike Rodeo is saddling up from 10 a.m. to a high-noon finish, and the best part? Not one dime is needed to join the hoedown—it's totally free. Families looking to school their kiddos on bike safety can thank the Coon Rapids Police for dishing out the dos and don'ts.

Young riders can zip through an obstacle course to bone up on bike signals and smart riding, getting the down-low on everything from weaving like pros to hitting the brakes without a moment's notice; oh, and there's start and stop practice too. The cops aren’t just there to preach—they have a mission to make sure every helmet fits snug as a bug, and they're selling those brain buckets for just ten bucks a pop.

But here's the kicker: for tykes without a two-wheeler, the event promises a lineup of donated bikes—because no kid should miss out on the joyride. It's not just the local law enforcement rolling up their sleeves—the fire department, Allina Health, and Safe Kids Anoka County are in on the action too, making this rodeo a full-blown community shindig.

For those scramblin' for more info, saddle up your browser and mosey over to the City of Coon Rapids website where the full announcement has been posted, giving you the lowdown on the whole shebang so you don't ride into Saturday blind.
