A free bike helmet will be given to each child who is pre-registered and completes the education and safety course. When children arrive at the event, they will first be fitted for their bicycle helmet. Next they will listen to a brief educational presentation and then complete a fun rodeo obstacle course where they can practice safe riding skills.

Children, ages preschool through fifth grade, need to be accompanied bya parent or guardian and must be able to bring a bicycle or tricycle lthat they can ride through the safety course.

Additionally, the Noble County Medical Alliance will also be offering free WHALE Packets to participants. WHALE stands for "We Have a Little Emergency" and the packets contain stickers for car windows and car seats to help identify children and provide contact information should the vehicle be in an accident. Additional helmets will be available for purchase for adults or older children.

In the event of inclement weather, registration, helmet fitting and the safety presentations will be held inside the Parkview Noble Rehabilitation Department.
