We sell a whole lot of kids bikes here at The IBC. Once in a while a local school asks us to come and support a "Bike Rodeo", this is a great way to see some of our smaller customers in action.
Basically a Bike Rodeo is an event where kids take a quiz on bicycle safety, get fitted for a helmet, then perform a series of skills drills on an obstacle course, all so they can earn a license to ride their bikes to school. Out here in the burbs quite a few kids do actually ride to school, sometimes with their parents as guides, altogether pretty darn cool.
We were there to perform safety checks on the bikes prior to the obstacle course portion of the event. Pumping up tires, turning forks around so they face the right way, throwing some lube on the chain, tightening brakes, and telling every kid how awesome their bike is...that's what we do.
This guy was doing a great job of documenting the day's events.
These things are always a good time, looking forward to seeing some of these kids out at our Mountain Bike Skills Rides in the spring. Stay posted for more on that.
