On September 4th, the Manchester Bike and Pedestrian Committee in conjunction with the Manchester Police Department is hosting a Bicycle Rodeo/Skills Course and Helmet/Bicycle Check for children ages 5 through 10. Helmets found unsafe will be exchanged for new helmets, and all others will be adjusted for proper fit. The bicycle check will be conducted by Seaside Cycle Technicians, who will also advise parents of any significant mechanical issues. The event starts at 3:30PM at Manchester Memorial Elementary School on the side by the play structures/library. In addition to running the bicycle rodeo, Manchester Police will be on hand to answer any questions concerning bicycling in town and Massachusetts bicycle laws.
If your son/daughter typically ride a bus or car home, they will need to send a note in stating "I give permission for my son/daughter ,”name”, to be dismissed as a walker to attend the after-school bicycling program." - so that school administrations knows that the school can dismiss to the Bike Rodeo/Skills Course and you can drop off his/her bike at the event.
