Excellent Hickory Bike Safety Rodeo yesterday at Hickory City Park, sponsored by our Hickory Parks, Recreation and Sports Tourism Department with terrific support by our Hickory Police Department, Hickory Velo Club and Hub & Spokes (e-bike rentals). Lots of kids and police on bikes and...
...lots of grease and wrenches sprayed and twisted by Hickory Velo Club guys.
Kids had a blast - on balance bikes and full-on pedal bikes - riding through a well laid out skills development course that helped them improve balance, turn, brake and manage obstacles, all under parental and police supervision. The key measure of success: big smiles on every kid and adult - and this is just one of the many steps we're taking in Hickory to improve street safety for all.
More soon!
