This bicycle safety event, perfect for kids, is hosted each May from 9:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at the City Hall parking lot on Stafford Place near the Gazebo. Bicyclists and Pedestrian Advisory Commission members and volunteers provide information related to bicycling, trails, paths, safe routes to schools, bike and vehicle safety, bicycle care, and bicycle equipment. Attendees have an opportunity to provide community feedback to the Commission on bike routes through Warrenville. Great raffle prizes, like bicycles and helmets, are available with some fun giveaways. Children have an opportunity to ride a safety course and police officers are on hand to register bicycles. Working Bikes Cooperative, a not-for-profit cooperative that diverts bicycles from the waste stream in Chicago by repairing them for sale and charity, collect bikes for recycling. The library offers a bibliography of cycling books, magazines, and helpful websites. This is a truly fun event that also provides invaluable safety tips for families.
