Learn Safety Tips, Test Bike Riding Skills At Freehold Borough Bike Safety Rodeo

FREEHOLD BOROUGH, NJ — Freehold Borough’s youngest residents can learn the proper rules of riding a bike in a fun atmosphere when the Freehold Borough Mayor’s Wellness Committee and Freehold Borough Police Department host their Bike Safety Rodeo on Saturday.

From 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., residents are encouraged to bring their kids with their bikes to learn the rules of bike riding.

All bikes will receive a safety check, and helmets will be properly fit at the event. Assistance can also be provided for anyone who wants to learn to ride without training wheels.

“It’s important that our children learn how to operate a bike in a safe and responsible manner,” Freehold Borough Mayor Kevin Kane said. “Our Bike Safety Rodeo brings community leaders and members of our police department together with young children and their families for a fun-filled event with a purpose: Learn to operate your bike safely.”

At the event, EZ Ride will be on hand to conduct a visual, age-appropriate and interactive presentation about safety rules and the benefits of riding and walking. There will also be an obstacle course set up to test your skills and maneuvers.

Every child who attends the event will have the chance to win one of two new bicycles donated by the Freehold Borough PBA.

“On behalf of the Freehold Borough Policemen’s Benevolent Association, I am excited to once again participate in the Annual Bike Safety Rodeo, taking place on Saturday, June 21, 2025,” PBA President Ivan Sanchez said.

“Events like these reflect the heart of our mission — to serve, protect, and engage with our community in meaningful and positive ways,” Sanchez continued. “The Mayor’s Wellness initiative promotes healthy living for residents of all ages, while the Bike Safety Rodeo allows us to directly connect with children and families, promoting safe riding habits in a fun and educational environment.”

The Bike Safety Rodeo will take place on Saturday, June 21, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Freehold Borough Municipal Building on 30 Mechanic Street.
