Bike Rodeo

Set up an obstacle course with road cones requiring relatively sharp cornering. A small up and down ramp adds some challenge. Have a competent cyclist check it to be sure its challenging, but not impossible.

The goal is to ride through the course slowly. If you go too quickly you must start over. At some point in the course, each rider is to look over the left shoulder and tell how many fingers the person behind them is holding up.

It's a good idea to let riders try the course before being tested. Any who fail should be encouraged to try again after receiving pointers from those who succeed. Each rider who completes the course should receive a certificate or some kind of recognition.

Hey You guys,

        Awesome Resources! Thank you! Does anyone have a handbook/info for
EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMMING? I'm really interested in any documents related to
running bike rodeos, outreach clinics, bike camps, bike tours, etc. I'm
also interested in any games/activities related to teaching people/kids
about bike safety and bike love. For instance, have you ever played bicycle
musical chairs? Stuff like that...
