This family-friendly event promotes safe bicycling for children through fun skills stations. There will be several skill-building stations, such as the “Driveway Ride-Out” and “Controlled Braking.” There will be a final station that brings it all together. Kids can also enter a raffle to win a free bicycle, donated by Target on McKee Road! 

Volunteers from the Verona Lions Club, the Verona Optimists Club, and the Verona Police Cadets will staff the event along with VPD officers. The Lions Club will provide hot dogs, chips, and water; Culver’s is donating frozen custard! FitchRona EMS bicycle paramedics will also be present. 

Kids are required to bring their own bicycles and helmets to participate (parents too!). Bicycles must be functioning properly and safety checks will be provided at the event. Bicycle licensing will also be provided free of charge at the event.
