Blaine Police Department has geared up to offer local kids a chance to wheel in some bike safety knowledge this May. Interactions with the Blaine Police Bike Patrol officers will provide elementary-aged cyclists with the nuts and bolts of staying safe on two wheels. The department's Youth Bike Rodeo is set for Saturday, May 4, between 10:00 AM and 12:00 PM at Blaine United Methodist Church, located at 621 115th Ave NE. The free event promises to bolster the little ones' biking expertise, as per the Blaine Police Department.

Pencil it in, parents, because the department is rolling out free bike helmets, alongside custom fittings to ensure that the noggins of your offspring are snug and secure. The giveaways don't stop there, as kids are also set to receive other freebies, while they learn essential skills and take away critical safety lessons. Remember, registration is not just recommended, it's required, and those spots are as limited as a hand-crafted designer bike with only 25 slots available. Folks can dial up the BPD's Community Outreach Team at 763-717-2692 or shoot an email to [email protected] to secure a spot, according to the Blaine Police Department.
