Terrace Bike Rodeo Ramps up Community Spirit

The Terrace Emergency Services Bike Rodeo 2022 was nothing short of a success.

Approximately 120 children along with families and friends came in droves to the Skeena Mall Parking lot on Saturday June 11 where the Rodeo was in full swing.

Helmets were checked for a proper fit by the Northern Brain Injury Association where many kids received new helmets.

Bike inspections and repairs were conducted by a team of bike mechanics from the local Fix Cyclery and Cafe to ensure a safe ride.

Children made their way through a variety of stations where bikes were decorated, riding skills were taught, all while interacting with many Emergency Service Providers who volunteered their time to this event.
