Woodstock Police and McDonald's are giving out free ice cream to kids who practice safe biking this summer
WOODSTOCK - After a day of cycling, nothing tastes better than a nice ice cream cone - except when that ice cream is free.
Community Services Officer Constable Nikki VanLeeuwen says the Woodstock Police will be promoting safe bike habits by giving out coupons for ice cream. "We're very excited that the McDonald's restaurants are on board. We're going to be working together, and we're going to be rewarding youth in the community for following the rules of the road. Specifically wearing their helmets. That's one of the big ones. Trying to educate people and get them to protect themselves from head injuries and concussions this summer."
This is all a part on an ongoing push to stress the importance of proper bike safety.
Officers will be on the lookout for things like proper helmet use, using hand signals, properly outfitting bikes with lights and horns, stopping for stop signs and traffic lights, and using trails and skate parks respectfully. Many officers will be carrying coupons for a free soft serve ice cream, including the auxiliary bike force.
The program has already started and will run until the end of September.
