Green Park bike rodeo Saturday

Crime Watch program brings free bike safety program to area schools
Crime Watch is launching a new program this fall called Back on the Road to promote bicycle safety. This free activity is coming to district elementary schools this fall on Saturdays to repair flat tires, perform bicycle maintenance and give away bike helmets. “Eric Hisaw has committed his football players to help out with flat repair and helmet fitting,” said organizer Kay Barga. “Local bike shops will send mechanics to determine if the child's bike is fit to ride.”

Bikes determined not fit to ride will be exchanged through a bike exchange with the penitentiary. Old bikes are rebuilt and then donated back to the community.
