Registration Open for Kids Bike Safety Rodeo

The City of Long Beach with the Kiwanis Club of Long Beach NY and Legislator Patrick Mullaney will host a Kids Bike Safety Rodeo on Saturday, May 9, 2026. The event will take place at the Recreation Campus basketball courts from 10:00am - 1:00pm. This event is for children ages 4 to 12. There will be two sessions: 10:00AM - 11:30AM and 11:30AM - 1:00PM.  Please choose one time. 

What a great way to start the summer season!! Bike rodeos teach children various bike safety skills by using simulated real-life situations. Children will be taught the fundamentals of bicycle safety and learn skills that will improve their cycling abilities in a fun safe environment. All children will receive bicycle safety information and a certificate of completion.

A limited number of helmets will be given away. In addition to the rodeo, there will be other fun activities, including tattoos, helmet decorating and bike raffles. In order to participate, you must come with a bicycle and bring your helmet. If you do not have a helmet, one will be provided while supplies last.
