Cycling safety, family fun focus of KCK West Kiwanis Bike Rodeo Saturday

Elementary-aged kids will have the opportunity to learn tips on cycling safety, get free bike safety helmets and T-shirts and enjoy activities at the Kansas City T-Bones stadium at a free family event from 9 a.m. to noon on Saturday, May 18.

The annual Kansas City Kansas Kiwanis West Bike Rodeo is back for the 13th year and will be held rain or shine in the parking lot area of Kansas City T-Bones Stadium, 1800 Village West Parkway, Kansas City, Kansas.

Kids are encouraged to bring their bicycles to the event to have their bikes inspected free and to complete the bicycle safety course. Youth must be accompanied by an adult in order to participate.

The first 300 to arrive will receive a free bike safety helmet and T-shirt.

Participants will rotate through seven bike riding skill stations and have the opportunity to earn a bicycle safety certificate.

Back again this year will be a free, drive-through car seat safety check. Experts will inspect car seats and ensure they are installed securely in families’ vehicles.
