The South Port Optimist Club is holding a free Youth Bike Rodeo at École Port Elgin Saugeen Central School, 504 Catherine Street on Saturday, May 28 from 9 a.m. to noon.

The event had been previously scheduled for May 14 but was cancelled due to inclement weather.

Whether on a bicycle, with or without training wheels, or a tricycle, elementary school aged children in Saugeen Shores are invited to learn to practice and develop safe bicycling handling skills in a fun traffic-free environment.

The day will include safety inspections of bikes and helmets, skills stations, knowledge checks, prizes and a certificate of completion and refreshments.

Bring your own bike and helmet.

Prizes will include two $150 gift cards for new bikes, courtesy of Mowbray’s Canadian Tire.

Supported by Saugeen Shores Police Service and co-sponsored by Mowbray’s Canadian Tire.

If you would like to volunteer, please contact Carl at 519-708-0711.
