One of the highlighted efforts of the Maple Valley Police Department in encouraging bicycle safety each year is our Bicycle Safety Rodeo.

The Maple Valley Police Department, Maple Valley Fire and Life Safety and several local organizations and businesses will participate this year in creating a fun and safe learning environment for children 5 – 11 years of age to develop rider safety skills.

The course has been designed to teach children proper street bicycling techniques and features a real stop light, street signs and a helmet and bike fitting station. Award certificates will be provided to all participants along with some great giveaways.

This FREE event starts at 9 a.m. and concludes at 12 p.m. It will be held at Glacier Park Elementary School, 23700 SE 280th ST, in the City of Maple Valley.
