Kids saddle up at SCMBF Bike Rodeo
Dozens of kids got to practice bike riding skills with the help of our volunteers through our bike rodeo at the Santa Cruz Mountain Bike Festival, Saturday and Sunday, April 11 and 12. The kids attacked the ramps and terrain like seasoned professionals, even if their push bikes didn’t have pedals.
Come volunteer for more fun at Watsonville Open Streets (see previous article).
