KIDS TEST THEIR SAFETY SKILLS AT BICYCLE ROADEO

The Central Counties Safety Council, serving Santa Clara, Santa Cruz, Monterey, and San Benito Counties, California, sets up bicycle "roadeos" for kids at schools, shopping centers and other sites. Fire or police departments and parent volunteers help the council promote safe bicycling by scoring children on equipment and maintenance, as well as their ability to balance, maneuver around cones and lines, stop safely, recognize signs, and signal properly. Safety literature is handed out, certificates are given to each participant, and prizes are donated by local merchants.
