Participants are asked to bring their own bike. If a child does not have a bike, a used reconditioned bike from Durham Bicycle Cooperative will be provided for the youth to borrow at the rodeo. Each participant will receive a free helmet from NCDOT Bicycle and Pedestrian Division’s Helmet Initiative Program. Participants should wear closed-toed shoes and comfortable clothing. Registration is required and space is limited. Age: 7-12 CR Fee: $3 NCR Fee: $8 WALLTOWN PARK 14780 May 22 Sa 10am-12pm
