Did you know that more children ages 5 to 14 are seen in emergency rooms for injuries related to biking than any other sport? Bike safety education and the right protective equipment can help change that.

The Morrisville Fire/Rescue Department will be hosting its bike safety rodeo for kids, from toddler age to 18, on June 8 from 10 a.m. to noon at Fire Station 1, 200 Town Hall Drive. Participants can get their bicycle inspected and can prove their safety knowledge and riding ability on the skills course. Bicycle helmets will be given out to those who need one, so long as supplies last.

The rodeo will be held rain or shine. For more information, contact Bill Granger, Administrative Support Specialist, at wgranger@morrisvillenc.gov or call 919-463-6931.
