Buffalo Grove Bike Rodeo
Saturday May 10th (rain date May 17th)

Every year the Wheelmen help the Buffalo Grove Police dept with their Bike Rodeo. This event is geared towards kids to teach them bike safety as well as to promote cycling. Once the kids sign up at the registration desk, they come to our station where we make sure their helmets are fitted properly. Sometimes the parent’s helmets need adjustments, too. From there the kids get their bikes checked out by a local bike shop and then on to a host of obstacle courses.
Volunteers Needed
First shift 11am-1pm and second shift 1pm-3pm.
A pizza lunch is provided and usually served out of their SWAT van.
Contact Sheri Rosenbaum at Luv2Bike80@hotmail.com or 847-368-1762 to volunteer.
