2009 Kids Bike day

MWV Velo Bicycling Club’s Kids’ Bike Day

The Mount Washington Valley Velo Bicycling Club Kids’ Bike Day will take place on May 2nd (rain day May 3rd) from 10:00 to 3:00 at Story Land in Glen. The event is open to all kids, ages 6-12, who live or vacation in the Valley region.

After registration, participants’ helmets will be inspected for safety. A new free helmet will be issued to those in need. All bikes will be inspected for mechanical condition and safety features. Loaner bikes will be available for use by riders whose bikes fail the mechanical inspection.

Rules of the road instruction will be given by police officers, followed by ride-through safety course, featuring six stations inside Story Land.. After completing the course, all riders will receive a gift bag and free refreshments.

This event is intended to promote safe cycling in our communities by ensuring the quality of equipment and the demonstration of safe bike handling skills by the young riders.
