Bike Chester County will also be hosting a Bike Safety Rodeo for children from 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM.  All children aged 4 to 12 are welcome to come learn how to safely ride their bike with a fun obstacle course created by Bike Chester County.  Children will receive their very own bike license and a free bike check-up from Performance Bike in Paoli.  All children must bring their own bike to the event and a helmet!
