Come to our San Francisco Bike Rodeo! We are excited to partner with the California Highway Patrol, San Francisco Fire Department and many more agencies for this event. At this event youth will:

1. Learn important bike safety lessons - including how to navigate traffic, use hand signals and ride safely on San Francisco's streets and bikeways.
2. Have their bike and helmet inspected - mechanics will be on-hand to help scouts adjust their helmets to a proper fit, and inspect their bikes for any safety concerns.
3. Go for a short bike ride - we'll take the kids (and family members!) on a short bike ride around the Embarcadero, using the protected bikelanes and shared paths. 
4. The first 200 registered Cub Scouts will be awarded a special Golden Gate Area Council Bike Rodeo Activity Patch to wear on their uniform. 

If you want to get your youth more comfortable with biking in a group, this is the perfect event!
