Pomona police will offer tips on bike safety Saturday

Tips to help young bike riders be safe will be presented
Saturday (June 26) by members of the Pomona Police Department.

The Police Department's Traffic Services Unit organized the free
bicycle rodeo from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at the Pomona Civic Center
Plaza, 505 S. Garey Ave.

The event is geared to children from 3 to 10 years old and aims to
provide bike safety education.

Motorcycle officers will meet with children to provide safety
information, offer bike inspections and help young bike riders
navigate through a riding course.

Representatives from Coates Cyclery will be available to make minor
adjustments to bikes.

A limited number of bike helmets will be given away to children who
are Pomona residents.

Children will have a chance to have their pictures taken in a police
vehicle or motorcycle while wearing police gear.
