Safety, Fun and Free Helmets!

Volunteers needed! October 17, Newark’s first Bike Rodeo will be held in conjunction with the Tour de Newark bike race. Sponsored by Brick City Bike Collective, Meadowlink, and the Newark Department of Recreation, the Bike Rodeo will be an action packed opportunity for kids to learn the rules of the road, hone some bike riding skills for navigating Newark streets and get fit with a free helmet!

The Tour de Newark begins at 9am with a speach from Cory Booker, followed by a secondary “Family Race” kickoff. Around 10am, the kids head to the rodeo at Green Street, which the City has closed for the day. League Certified Instructor Jen Laurita will be leading 50 Newark youth in a series of bike checks, a helmet fitting, and a road skills course. Brick City Bike Collective will be leading several activities including bike trivia, team games, spoke-card making, and a short ride.

It promises to be a great event, but we need your help! Come and volunteer with us on Saturday, October 17. Any hours you can spare between 9:30 am and 2pm would be greatly appreciated.

To volunteer, contact BCBC at brickcitybikecollective@gmail.com or 973.559.6179.

To register your child, contact the Newark Department of Recreation at 973.733.5378
