Learn Bike Safety at Phoenix Public Library’s Bike Safety Rodeos

Phoenix Public Library invites families to participate in Bike Safety Rodeos, free, interactive events designed to teach children essential bike safety skills through fun, hands-on activities. Participants will practice stopping, turning, navigating obstacle courses, and following the rules of the road—all in a safe, supportive environment.

Presented in partnership with Phoenix Children’s Hospital, free helmets are available while supplies last. Children are encouraged to bring their own bikes and helmets, or they can use one provided at the event.
