Bicycle safety course set at fair Saturday
Did you know it takes years for children to gain the judgment, balance, skill and knowledge they need to safely ride a bicycle? Did you know setting a good example by obeying traffic rules and wearing a helmet is one of the best ways to encourage a child to do the same?

These are just some of the topics that will be covered at a bike safety course being sponsored by the Tonganoxie Police Department during the Community Health and Safety Fair this Saturday.

Children and adults are encouraged to bring their bicycles and learn current bicycling laws, get a bike safety check-up and refresh their safety skills.

The Health and Safety Fair will run from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday at the Tonganoxie Junior High School cafeteria and east parking lot from 1 p.m. For more information on the event, call 369-9100.
