In recognition of Bike Safety Month (May), the City of Boynton Beach Recreation & Parks Department has teamed up with the Boynton Beach Police Department to offer children (ages 6-12) a Spinning for Safety event on Saturday, May 20 (9 am – 11 am) at the Ezell Hester, Jr. Community Center (1901 N. Seacrest Blvd).
Participants will learn the importance of utilizing hand signals when turning, wearing a protective helmet and the rules of the road. They will also have the opportunity to navigate a bicycle skills course, which will help to develop the habit of using brakes when coming to a stop.
Children should be accompanied by a parent or guardian, and furnish their own bicycles and helmets to participate. Swag bags and bike helmets will be given out to each registered participant. There will be bike raffles by the Boynton Beach Police Biking Unit. Pre-registration is encouraged, on-site registration opens at 8:30 am.
