Bike Rodeo Volunteers Needed

[Judd]

Alexandria BPAC is going high tech! We are now using Sign Up Genius to manage volunteer registration and we could use lots of help for the Spring season. Sign up to volunteer here: http://bit.ly/Spring2019Rodeos

What is a Bike Rodeo? That was my first question when I was asked to be a volunteer at a Bike Rodeo!

Bike Rodeos are fun events, where youth learn valuable lessons about how to interact with pedestrians, cars, and what to do at traffic signs. Before starting a course through a “mock city”, their bikes get a thorough safety check, and each youth demonstrates that they know how to wear their helmet safely. Then on to the course, for “bumpy road” and other stations where they have fun, while also practicing their riding skills. Bottom line: A Bike Rodeo is an event where youth have fun while also practicing bike safety and skills!

The volunteer tasks are really easy and the kids are a lot of fun. You’ll get a full set of instructions ahead of time and we often pair volunteers together at each station. I’ll likely instigate a lunch outing afterwards for the ones that I’m volunteering at.

I’ll jump in on 4/27… counting on those instructions ahead of time! — or else, shift me over to “Registration/Sign-up”

I promise you’ll get some–I was freaked out last year when I volunteered at my first rodeo, but it ended up being super easy, and a ton of fun. Now I’m volunteering at like 7 of them, so CLEARLY I enjoyed the experience .

Thanks for posting. This sounds fun! I have signed up for 3 of them. This will be new to me. Maybe I can learn a few things and try to do some in Fairfax County.

Thank you for your offer, Judd. I will soak it all in and share the knowledge.
