Community – we are pleased to present BikeSafe @ The Underline, The Underline’s Bike Rodeo Workshop event series led by The University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, KiDZ Neuroscience Center, and supported by the Honda USA Foundation! The bike rodeos will teach kids bicycle handling and safety skills. This FREE activation will be located at the Hammock Playground Plaza, Sponsored by Publix Supermarket Charities,located across the street from 1523 SW 1st Ave. Google Pin.
Bike rodeos are bring your own bike events. We present bicycle “driving” courses, in a safe and protected environment, designed to simulate actual roadway situations commonly encountered by bicyclists. A bike rodeo is an effective way to involve parents, teachers and civic and community groups in helping young children learn how to ride safely. They also provide a social and interactive way to reinforce safe bicycling skills. Such skills emphasized and practiced in a bicycle rodeo often include: starting and stopping, using hand signals, scanning for traffic without weaving, making turns, safe maneuvering, entering a roadway safely, avoiding hazards, and balancing.
- Bike repair stations
- Bicycle handling and safety skills training (driving course)
- Stop sign maneuvering
- Informative tent and table setups
The event schedule for the program is as follows:
- Saturday, January 11th, 2025 from 10 AM – 1 PM
- Saturday, February 22nd, 2025 from 10 AM – 1 PM
- Saturday, March 15th, 2025, from 10 AM – 1 PM

Acerca de este evento

Para los eventos de rodeos de bicicletas es necesario traer su propia bicicleta. Ofreceremos cursos de “manejo” de bicicletas en un entorno seguro y protegido, diseñados para simular situaciones reales y comunes que los ciclistas encuentran en la calle. Un rodeo de bicicletas es una manera efectiva de involucrar a padres, maestros, grupos de la sociedad civil y de la comunidad para ayudar a los niños pequeños a aprender a conducir de manera segura. También brindan una forma social e interactiva de reforzar las habilidades seguras de ciclismo. Las habilidades que se enfatizan y practican en un rodeo de bicicletas con frecuencia incluyen: arrancar y detenerse, usar señales manuales, observar el tráfico sin zigzaguear, dar vueltas, maniobrar con seguridad, incorporarse a una calle de manera segura, evitar peligros y mantener el equilibrio.
- Estaciones de reparación de bicicletas
