During a recent government meeting, community members discussed plans for an upcoming bike rodeo aimed at promoting cycling safety and education. The event will feature a bike tune-up station, a helmet check station, and a craft activity where participants can create personalized bike license plates. Organizers are seeking assistance from the local school district to help communicate details of the event, including the use of a QR code for RSVPs.

The meeting highlighted the importance of community involvement, with volunteers already stepping forward to assist with various aspects of the rodeo. A mobile bike maintenance expert was identified as a potential volunteer to oversee the tune-up station. The proposed location for the event will utilize available parking spaces rather than a parking lot, allowing for a more engaging setup with looping paths for different age groups.

Additionally, the committee confirmed the arrival of new vulnerable road user signs, expected by mid to late August, which will enhance safety measures in the area. The meeting concluded with discussions about scheduling future meetings, with a tentative date set for September 12, to ensure continued collaboration on the bike rodeo and other community initiatives.

In a related note, the committee announced the \"Pedal for the Path\" fundraiser scheduled for September 8, which will support the South Coast Bikeway. This year’s event will feature a 35-mile bike ride starting at Running Brook Vineyards, with donations welcomed but no registration fee required.
