REDWOOD CITY, CA — San Mateo County residents are invited down to the North Fair Oaks Library this Sunday to ring in the first "Books and Bikes" celebration. Jointly organized by San Mateo County Parks and Redwood City, the event offers kids the chance to have some fun in a safe environment, including at the bike rodeo and Safe Moves City activities.

Participants of all ages are encouraged to bring down their bikes and helmets to attend family-friendly workshops, get their bikes repaired for free, enjoy some live music and win a few prizes. Organizers will also have a few loaners on hand for those who need to borrow equipment.

"We are especially excited to feature a bike rodeo," San Mateo County Libraries writes. "Kids can build skills and confidence by participating in the Safe Moves City experience, designed to simulate the diverse traffic environments in a large city and create problem-solving experiences for every age group."
