Bike Rodeo

8/3/2026 2:30 pm

Calling all 3rd-5th graders to the Prospect Bike Rodeo!
 
WHEN: Sunday, August 16th from 1:00 pm-2:30 pm

WHERE: Prospect School Blacktop (Basketball Court)



The Bike Rodeo is a fun rite of passage event for our 3rd–5th graders who would like to receive a “license” to ride their bike to school. Prospect works with a local bike shop, the Clarendon Hills Police Department, and parent volunteers to create stations where the kids receive a safety check for their bike and helmet, ride through a bicycling safety course, and finally get their bike registered with the school and the Clarendon Hills Police Department. We hope to see you there!


Requirements to Participate in the Bike Rodeo:


• An adult to accompany, supervise, and complete registration forms


• A bike helmet that fits properly


• A bike in good condition with filled tires

Frequently Asked Questions:


• If you can’t make this date, visit the CH police to register your bike


• Bike locks are not required at this event


• 4th and 5th graders with new bikes DO NOT need to do the Bike Rodeo again. Just take the new bike to the CH police department to be engraved



Volunteers Needed:


We need a few extra hands and extra air (bike) pumps at the event. To volunteer please use the sign up genius.
