WEST CARROLLTON Bicycle Fun Day

West Carrollton will be putting a new twist on a previous event. Bicycle Fun Day will move locations to the Marina Drive area (5457 Marina Drive) by the Great Miami River. The event will be held from 10 a.m. to noon Saturday.

Kids will learn how to safely handle their bicycle and practice biking skills on an activity course. Whitman’s Bike Shop will provide free bicycle safety checks for any attendee. Local resident, Charlie Gau, will host a bike repair station.

Additional activities include a mini penny farthing bike-riding magician, fan-favorite Ranger Vic providing balloon designs, an area to create chalk art creations and a K&G Bike Center associate demonstrating an 1880s-style boneshaker bike. The Ice Cream Trolley food truck will be selling ice cream during the event.

The city’s fire and police departments’ vehicles will be available to Touch-A-Truck. One of the city’s bike officers will lead a short ride along the bike path and administer a Safety Pledge to the children.

The Put a Lid on It! campaign to promote bike helmet safety awareness around the state has donated 36 bike helmets, which will be distributed while supplies last. Kali Helmets has donated 12 helmets that will be raffled off free of charge to participants during the event.
