Ana's Pledge Event
Here are some of the participants in Saturday's Ana's Pledge Bike Safety Rodeo at Lake School. Again, thanks to all of the great volunteers for making this important event happen!
Spring has Sprung!
Having some technical difficulties resolved, we are now able to resume posting on the City Blog. So sorry for the delay. When technology works it's great-when it doesn't it is VERY frustrating :-)
Spring has arrived in the Gunnison High Country. This past Saturday saw the 3rd Annual Ana's Pledge Bike Safety Rodeo. Close to 100 children (and their parents) learned about bike safety as they went through the safety stations at Lake School Administration Building on North Boulevard. The kids had their bicycles checked for mechanical safety and their bike helmets examined for proper fit. Thanks to Wal-Mart and Tomichi Cycles, bike helmets were provided to those kids unable to afford one. Thanks to these two GREAT SPONSORS of the event!
In addition, close to 30 volunteers manned the stations around the course! Thanks to each and every one of them, the young participants learned how to merge safely in traffic, watch out for other vehicles and obstacles on the road, ride properly in the City bike lanes, stop and start as needed and practiced safe riding on the obstacle course. It was a educational and fun time!
The Bike Safety Rodeo was the start of many, many upcoming bicycle events in Gunnison this summer. Stay tuned for updates. Have a great spring everyone!
