Saddle Up for the Wellesley Police Bike Rodeo

The event makes bicycle safety fun for kids and parents.

WELLESLEY, MA – Grab your lasso and hop on board your favorite three speed for the Wellesley Police Department bike rodeo this Sunday.

Children 12 years and younger are invited to Wellesley High School from 10 to 11:30 a.m. Sunday morning for this free event. All you need is a bike, a helmet and a parent.

The rodeo emphasizes safety, but that doesn't mean it's lacking fun activities for the whole family. Stop by and compete in a myriad of skill events, including the "How slow can you go?" challenge, the "Crazy-8" balance course, an obstacle course and brake safety challenges.
