Kids Take Over the Roads at Bike Rodeo at Open Streets Watsonville
114 kids and adults who wish they could be kids again rode bikes through the bike skills obstacle course at Open Streets Watsonville last Sunday, May 17. Volunteers from Trips for Kids Santa Cruz partnered with Ecology Action’s Bike Smart! program to help kids practice bike riding skills. Kids learned how to signal for turns, how to cross railroad tracks, and how to slalom around hazards on the road.
