New for 2024!  With the help of our friends at the Twin City Area Optimist Club, we are excited to offer the first-ever Bottleneck Bridge Bike Safety Rodeo and Helmet Fitting Clinic! Open to kids ages 3-14.

A bike rodeo is a safe, controlled environment where kids ages 3-14 practice bike handling skills and gain confidence. Strider bikes and those with training wheels are welcome. Experience with riding a bike is recommended. Keep in mind, that this is not a learn-to-ride event.

The event will take place in the large paved area behind Main n Mill at the corner of S. Mill and S. Second Street. Start time: 12:30 pm. End Time: 2 pm

Must bring your own bike. A helmet is required to ride on the course, and each child will receive a free helmet and goody bag after being fitted for proper sizing.

Bike helmet donations were generously donated by Helmets First, St. Louis, MO
