| Now that summer is almost here, we see more children enjoying the outdoors by riding their E-bikes, bicycles, and scooters. The Fillmore Police Department hosting host a “Bicycle Safety Rodeo Community Event.” Our goal is to inform members of our community about the rules, regulations and safe use of E-bikes, bicycles, and electric scooters. In many cases, these events are the only opportunities to educate parents and children about the safety aspects of riding E-bikes, bicycles, and electric scooters on streets. Our goal is to empower young children on bikes with a minimal set of skills for street and road riding. In addition, they will be taught a small subset of the rules of the road to keep them safe. A Bicycle Safety Rodeo is a safety clinic where young riders can learn about proper safety and the rules of the road. There will be a bicycle safety course chalked out for basic riding skills. Guests will also have the opportunity to obtain free helmet adjustments and bicycle tune-ups thanks to the Santa Paula Bike Shop. Community members are encouraged to stop by, enjoy a cup of locally brewed coffee provided by our very own El Abuelo Coffee and Bakery and other sweet treats! Come out and engage in friendly discussions with the first responders who serve their community every day and discuss the importance of bicycle safety. Raffle prizes will be handed out, so don’t miss out! The event will feature first responders from the Fillmore Police Department, Fillmore Fire Department, The Ventura County Sheriff’s Office SWAT, Off-Road team, Fillmore Search and Rescue, and Fillmore Fire Department. Community members can even expect a special fly-by appearance by the Ventura County Air Unit. In addition, guests with a sweet tooth can expect a special appearance from Mr. Softee and Kona Ice. Please come and join us for this free community event.
