Bicycle Rodeo

The bike rodeo is typically offered
as a summer activity. 
The Bicycle Rodeo teaches cub scouts basic bicycle riding skills, bike repair ,and safe bike riding strategies and allows the boys to complete some achievement badges for their next scout rank.
 
While this activity is certainly a great time for scouts and families alike, it may not be planned into the calendar every year.  This helps keep scouting different and exciting every year.  This event has been held at venues such as Fort Wright Elementary School, Pioneer Park, and the Idelwild off-road bike trail.
