Bike Rodeo

Bike Rodeo

Thu, May 4

Ages 12 and under with adult
6–8 pm | New Hope City Hall

Bike riding offers fun, freedom, and exercise, and we want kids and families to ride their bikes as much as possible, all while being safe. Riders will have the opportunity to get their helmet properly fitted, navigate their bikes through a safety skills course, and get their bike checked for safety. Police and Fire personnel will be in attendance to oversee these activities. Participants can also enter a door prize drawing to win a new bike!

Sponsored by the cities of New Hope, Crystal, Golden Valley, and Robbinsdale.
