The
Santa Monica Police Department in observing “May is Bicycle
Safety Month” will be hosting a Traffic Safety Bicycle Rodeo on
Sunday, May 4, 2003, from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. at Virginia Avenue
Park located at 2200 Virginia Avenue.
Safe
Moves, a non-profit organization dedicated to saving children’s
lives through education, will be on-hand to assist in the bicycle
rodeo by presenting an interactive program.
The program, “Safe Moves City” is designed to simulate
traffic hazard facing students when they walk, ride and roll as
pedestrians, bicyclists, skaters, skateboarders, and scooter riders.
Bicycles
and helmets will be provided for participants to use. Participants may also bring their own bicycles, scooters and
skateboards and helmets.
The
Santa Monica Police Department, through a grant from the Office of
Traffic Safety, will be giving free helmets to the first 100
participants.
