Calling all bikers and future bikers! Check out the bike rodeo this week!

Please note, new location! 📍

The Bike Rodeo was originally planned to be held at the new bike playground at Rockwell Park but has been relocated to the Kalamazoo Farmers Market due to infrastructure improvements taking place near Rockwell Park.

We’re looking forward to a fun, family biking event and hope to see you there!

If you’d like to enter the prize drawing for a chance to win a new bike, you can pre-register for the event at www.kzooparks.org/BikeRodeo Winners will receive their bikes when they check in for the event.
