As communities continue to promote healthful outdoor activities and sustainable transportation, the Town of Atherton is making strides with its Annual Bike Rodeo on Saturday, September 30, at Menlo-Atherton High School. 

The Atherton Bike Rodeo gives kids a unique opportunity to playfully learn and enhance their bicycling expertise. They'll navigate through courses designed to challenge their control and quickly improve their balance. The goal is to safely push their biking boundaries and cement the importance of safety while developing their skills, according to the Town of Atherton news report.

Beyond simply encouraging biking prowess, the event also stresses the value of bike safety. Participants will learn useful safety strategies, such as how to don a helmet correctly, and performing safety checks before jumping on their bikes. Representatives from local law enforcement and bicycle shops will share crucial insights about bicycle safety, as well as respecting traffic rules and adopting best practices when on the road.

In addition to biking safety tips and guidelines, this exciting event features unique obstacle courses, community bike rides through Lindenwood, refreshments, freebies, and more. Local bike shops and libraries will be present, showcasing their programs and offerings, and encouraging families to incorporate cycling into their routines.

According to Safe Kids Worldwide, approximately 300,000 children are treated for bike injuries in emergency rooms annually. By emphasizing the significance of bicycle safety and training families in safe cycling practices, events like the Atherton Bike Rodeo can impact children's lives positively and turn them into responsible riders.
