"We have a lot stations set up as part of the course, so children actually go through the course, we have kids going through on their training wheels, regular bikes and even some tricycles go through. They go through the course that has numerous stations that check for their ability to control their bicycle, they are taught how to signal and sign when coming to intersections, do the proper shoulder check and the proper way to cross the road."
Kids will also get to munch on some free hot dogs, drinks and snacks and there will be draws to win new bikes and other prizes.
