Bike Rodeo signals safety for Bethel kids
Held on Saturday, June 9th, the 10th annual Bike Safety Rodeo attracted more than a hundred kids to YKHC’s Community Health Services Building parking lot to tune their bikes, exchange old helmets and ride the safety course.
In collaboration with the City of Bethel Parks & Recreation and the Bethel Boy Scouts, the Bike Rodeo offered an eight-station obstacle course, safety bus, bike safety check, bike auction and delicious food.
“112 people went home with new bike helmets,” reported Brian Lefferts, Injury Control & EMS Manager. “Thanks to the many employees and community members who volunteered at the event, it was a great success.”
