Village of Mundelein issued the following announcement on June 29.
The 2018 Bike Rodeo, sponsored by Ray’s Bike and Mower, 612 E. Hawley Street and Mundelein Community Connection, originally scheduled for June 10 was rained out. This fun event for kids and families has been rescheduled for Sunday, July 15 from 10 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., in the Fairhaven Plaza parking lot. Also participating will be the Mundelein Police and Fire Departments, Ace Hardware and the Mundelein Park District.
Mundelein families with young children are invited to participate in this fun and educational event, focusing on bicycle safety, bike-related activities, safe bike riding, biking in our great park system and throughout the beautiful Lake County trial system. Participants can learn how to properly fit a helmet, receive basic bike inspections, take a fire truck ride, get tips on family-safe bike rides, ride along a bicycle obstacle course, obtain copies of the Lake County trail system map, and talk with knowledgeable riders about biking in our community.
NEW THIS YEAR! We have added a 3-mile family bike ride for kids 8 and over accompanied by a parent. The family ride will be led by 2 Police Officers from the Mundelein Bike Patrol. All bike ride participants must wear a helmet and attend a brief safety orientation before the ride. The ride will begin at 12:30 p.m. from the Ray’s Parking Lot. Bike ride participants will be treated to a FREE cup of Greg’s Custard!
Each participant ages 3 to 13 also will receive a free raffle ticket to win one of three bicycles from Ray’s Bike and Mower. There will be a Bicycle Decorating Contest and Bike Parade, as well. Decorate your bicycle at home or at the event. Prizes will be given for First, Second, and Third place contest winners! Attendees will be treated to a FREE hot dog lunch, with chips and cookies (while supplies last). Lunch is served from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
