Bike Rodeo is the term Washington Area Bicyclist Association (WABA) uses for a fun, hands-on exercise using bikes and an obstacle course to teach kids the skills they need. We need to get plenty of community feedback on a proposed “Bike Rodeo” in Glover Park this coming spring. If there is sufficient interest, we plan to approach ANC3B for funding. Click through for more info, and please take the short survey so that we can bring the results to the ANC. Thank you
