Bike Rodeo

The Bike Rodeo will be held on Thursday, September 3rd on the Madison blacktop (back of school)!

The Bike Rodeo is for all Madison 3rd graders, and 4th or 5th graders (who are new to Madison or did not complete the rodeo in previous years) to earn their Bike License so they are able to safely ride their bike to and from school. This event is put on with the Hinsdale Police Department and run by parent volunteers. There are three time slots offered (3:30pm, 4:00pm, and 4:30pm), please register here.

Family Instructions:
- Each student should arrive with an adult to assist in the process of getting the bike license.
- E-Bikes are not permitted.
- Each student should have the Bike Registration Form filled out, printed, and signed. Printed copies will be sent home in the student’s home folder and can also be accessed here. Please bring completed form with you to the Bike Rodeo.
- Each student must have his/her own bike and helmet to participate.
- Each student must wear his/her backpack while riding through the course. Have your child practice riding his/her bike with a backpack on.
- The event may take up to 30 minutes, so please plan accordingly.

Preparation for Students:
Prior to the Bike Rodeo, we ask that students watch these 2 videos:
- How to Ride a Bike Safely with Rules of the Road Fun for Kids 
- Bicycle Safer Journey 

The Bike Rodeo is such an important event that is held at the beginning of every school year, and we need parent volunteers to make it run smoothly. If you are able to help with this event, please sign up here.
