PS 261 Bike Swap & Rodeo

 

The 2nd annual PS 261 Bike Swap & Rodeo is taking place on March 31 and will be open to the public. There will be lots of fun (and useful!) activities. We hope you can join us.

1. Bike Swap - $15
Bring your old kids bike in and get a new one from the bikes available. Refurbished kids bikes provided by Recycle-A-Bicycle

2. Bike Purchase - $25
If you do not have a kids bike, this will get you one that is in working order. Recycle-A-Bicycle mechanics will be on hand to make sure all bikes are safe and ready to ride.

3. Learn to Ride - FREE
Trainers from Bike New York will teach children who are ready to ditch their training wheels and ride a two-wheeler for the first time. Through a safe, easy, effective method, Bike New York’s experienced instructors help parents teach their kids how to balance, pedal, start, stop, and steer a bicycle. You can register in advance at www.bikenewyork.org  

4. Bike Skills Clinics - Free
Adult volunteers and community organizations will be on hand to lead kids through a variety of fun bike games that teach basic and advance skills necessary for riding.
