Trace Bikes is teaming up with Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt to provide children ages 6-12 with a Bicycle Safety Rodeo at Darrell Waltrip Automotive’s 25th Anniversary celebration on Saturday, Oct. 8.

The community is invited to a full celebration from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. with free hamburgers, hotdogs, snow cones, bounce houses, fire trucks, police cars and carnival games. The event will be topped off with a Bicycle Rodeo activity course provided by Trace Bikes and Children’s Hospital.

A portion of the parking lot will be set up like streets, driveways, and intersections, using sidewalk chalk to draw up the area. The Children’s Hospital will provide cars, trees, stop signs, and traffic signals.

Trained volunteers from Trace Bikes will be on hand to give free helmet fitting and safety checks for the brakes, tire pressure, and seat height on children’s bikes. They will also be teaching basic bike safety through activities such as  Demon Driveway and  Crazy Crossroads.

Helmet safety will be taught through the Egg Toss, a fun hands-on activity showing the importance of wearing your helmet. Kids will finish up the rodeo with a “snail race.”

Please bring your bicycle and helmet to participate in this event. Each child must be accompanied by an adult.
