Lakeside Bicycle Rodeo

SAFETY AND FUN

Was the theme at Lakesides “First Annual Bicycle Rodeo.” Kids from Lakeside and the surrounding area met at the Lakeside Lion’s Club Saturday morning for a bicycle safety awareness and fun day that included an obstacle course, bike tune-ups and repairs, and free helmets.

The event was sponsored by the Lakeside Women’s club with assistance from the Lakeside Fire Department.

Firefighters Caleb Moldt , Bob  Piersall, Patricia Grey provided direction at the obstacle course while Fire Chief Ted Ross adjusted chains, lubed and repaired bikes as necessary.

Kids who completed the course were given a certificate of completion and an ice cream cone. For those kids who missed the event and do not have a helmet, the Women’s Club will make available on a first come basis free helmets at the Lakeside Fire hall until they are all distributed.
