SALAMANCA, N.Y. — The Allegany State Park (ASP) Environmental Education and Recreation team has partnered up with the Western New York Mountain Bike Association (WNYMBA), Next Level Mounting Biking and Changing Gears to create a unique way for kids to test bike handling skills.
The bike rodeo course is especially designed to teach children various bike safety skills by simulating real life situations. Children will first learn how to inspect their bikes and wear helmets correctly, then ride a fun course along the Frog Freeway and through the Salamander Slalom while learning bike safety techniques.
Interested individuals should meet from 6 to 7:30 p.m. Tuesday Aug. 16 at the Red House Picnic area. This program will be an open forum with the last ride at 7:15 p.m, which is geared for children ages 7 through 12.
Participants must bring their own bike and helmet to take part in the event. Each rider is eligible for a prize and will receive a cool sticker from the ASP Rangers. For more information call (716) 354-9101 ext. 232.
