A free Bike Rodeo, designed to teach bicycle safety to children of all ages, will be held from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, May 26, in the parking lot of the Wood River Community YMCA, 101 Saddle Road.

Sponsors are the Ketchum Police Department and Higher Ground Sun Valley.

Ketchum police officers will conduct safety tests and monitor an obstacle course, and mechanics from local bicycle shops will perform safety inspections on children’s bicycles.

Representatives of Higher Ground Sun Valley adaptive sports program will be on hand to show off their hand cycles. And they will also be available to help children decorate their bicycles if they wish.

Children participating should bring their own bicycles and helmets. The police department will provide a helmet if a child does not have one. Snacks, juice and coffee will be available, and there will be prizes and safety items for bicycles.
