“Bike Safety Fair” to be held next month

The Plymouth County Cyclists, in partnership with the Le Mars Area YMCA, will host a “Bike Safety Fair” next month for young riders, to take place in the YMCA’s parking lot.

Attendees will participate in bike-riding activities designed to help riders learn the rules of the road, build confidence, and practice real world biking skills in a safe, controlled environment. Riders will learn skills such as proper hand signals for turning and stopping, navigating intersections and obstacles, and basic traffic rules. Bicycle inspections, helmet fitting, and free giveaways will be also available for attendees, as well as the chance to register bikes with the Le Mars Police Department.

The fair is put on by the Plymouth County Cyclists and the Le Mars Area YMCA in partnership with Bike Central, the Le Mars Police Department, and the Optimist Club. The “Bike Safety Fair” will take place on Thursday, May 14th from 4:30-6:30pm.
