North Hempstead Council Member Mariann Dalimonte in partnership with the Port Washington Police Department is proud to once again host a Bike Rodeo & Helmet Safety event on Thursday, April 27 at Manorhaven Beach Park (Main Parking Lot – Skating Rink).
The hour-long fun and educational event will begin at 4:30 p.m. and will provide children with the opportunity to participate in a series of courses that allows them to practice bicycle safety and agility skills.
“I am proud to once again to be hosting this popular event. We had a tremendous response last year and wanted to extend this opportunity to more children,” said Dalimonte. “This event teaches the importance of wearing a bike helmet and obeying traffic rules. Now that school is back in session, we want to make sure that everyone can have fun outside and stay safe.”
“As part of this great partnership with the Town, the Port Washington Police are committed to the safety of our children, as they enjoy the many benefits of Bike Rodeos,” said Port Washington Police Sergeant Peter Griffith.
The event is free and all participants must bring their own bicycles and helmets. Attendees must register by April 20 and call 311 to RSVP.
