On
Wednesday, July 19th, YNDC visited the Youngstown Parks Department’s
Summer Day Camp program at Lynn Park with a Pop-Up Bike Rodeo!
A Bike Rodeo is an event that teaches safe
bicycling behaviors to youth. Campers
were instructed on the proper way to wear a helmet, how to start and stop the
bike, and practiced their skills riding on the trail throughout the park. This event is
part of the Safe Routes to School project, a collaboration between the
Youngstown Neighborhood Development Corporation, the Youngstown City School
District, the City of Youngstown, the Western Reserve Health Foundation the Community
Foundation of the Mahoning Valley, and The William Swanston Charitable Fund.
The projects seeks to improve health and well-being by encouraging youth and
their families to become physically active by providing safe, fun ways to walk
and bicycle.
