The Cub Scout
Bike Rodeo is an exciting chance for Cub Scouts to learn about bicycling
safety and the thrill of bike riding, by navigating their way through a
series of “challenges.” They will also learn about bike safety,
maintenance and repair, and expressing themselves through the “Chalk
Talk.”

Bike rodeo |
These are my thought from an email about Bike Rodeo's!
Well is has been a while since I have thought about some cub stuff like these things, lets see, we did have a bike rodeo about 5 years ago, when I was still in cubs, lets see, it was pretty plain, we just used side walk chalk and orange cones, and made a course for the boys to go through in the parking lot, we talked to them about bike safety and taking care of their bikes, we had a fireman in the ward and he came and talked about safety!
Of course all the boys brought there bikes, and we had a few extra one's in case someone forgot their bike or did not have one.
You could make up a "bike drivers license" (SEE BELOW) with safety rules on them, their name, the date, and then laminate them and give them to the boys.
The course can be a place where they practice safety, like stop signs, turns, riding in the bike lanes etc. I could make up a bike license, that might be cool to have!
The police or fire department I bet would have some stickers for their bikes, and maybe you could see about getting everyone's bikes licensed through the city! I wonder what the cost for that is??? At least you could pass out the form to them to get a license.
