As we all know bicyle rodeos are programs design to teach children to to safely drive bicyles, wear helmets, check bicycles, etc. Im doing reseach in whether or not these programs actually help prevent these injuries that could happen for the lack of this knowlegde. My research has come out rather dry. I was wondering if anybody had numbers, statistics, or information that could help me out. Please and thank you.
Answer
Well, I don't have any stats, but I do have personal experience.
I did a bunch of bike rodeo events when I was like 9-10, and just starting riding as a real hobby. My parents told me I had to do at least 3 of them before I could ride on the road. They really did help, because they teach you bike handling techniques, and teach you to ride through different conditions like narrow lanes, grass, rocks, etc. They set up an obstacle course at the end, and everyone had 2 chances to get the fastest time without knocking any of the cones down that they used to make the course. It was actually pretty fun, and looking back, it probably did help.
All in all, I say it definitely did help me. I guess it all depends on how much the kids actually pay attention during the class that regulates how effective it was.

Old Fashioned Fourth of July Fun....?

I would like some suggestions for a community-wide Old Fashioned Fourth of July. Our celebration already has free bbq, free cake and homemade ice cream, a snowcone stand, free games (tug of war, gunney sack races, etc.) Lots of decorations, and all finished off with a fantastic display of glorious fireworks! What else can we do???
Answer
I remember one several years ago where they had a greased pole climging contest; the kids had a catch the pig contest. another had a carnival - with various rides and games. Another idea was a bicycle rodeo, where a course was set up where different obstacles and skills were tested.
