Скачать или смотреть FPD pedals some bike safety knowledge

The Findlay police department, with the help of other first responders, held its 5th annual Bike Rodeo Saturday at the Hancock County Fairgrounds.

Put on through the FPD's "Bikes, Bags, & Books" program, the event set up stations around the fairgrounds for kids to visit and learn about bike safety.

The event was geared towards kids, third thru sixth grade, who own bikes, but with donations from the "Bikes, Bags, & Books" program, kids without bikes were able to attend and receive a bike. Also given out were free helmets and bright yellow clothes to wear while riding.

Kids started at the registration table to sign in and receive punch cards to take to each station. After registration kids could go to any of the stations which included bike registration and licence; helmet fitting; bike inspections; biker's education; and two different bike courses for agility and road safety best practices.

Awards were given out at the end of the event as well as door prizes.
