Bike talk
-- Danette Goulet
Students were rounded up to learn about bicycle safety at Mariners
Elementary School in Newport Beach on Tuesday.
As part of the annual bike rodeo sponsored by State Farm Insurance, the
Childrens Hospital, Two Wheels One Planet and the Mariners PTA, children
biked through a series of rodeo courses to learn safety skills.
“We have quite a few kids that ride their bikes to school. It helps to
alleviate a lot of the traffic,” said event co-chair and dad Tom Fish.
“We figure if kids are well trained and aware of the hazards, they’ll be
safer.”
Fish was one of 20 dads who were out on the blacktop helping out with the
rodeo.
Besides conquering an obstacle course, children also had the opportunity
to get a license for their bikes from the police department.
