Bike Rodeo Program
Southern Indiana Rehab Hospital has teamed with
Dick's Sporting Goods and the Caesar's Foundation to benefit the
local community with The Bike Rodeo Program. This innovative and
exciting program is designed to educate our community's youth on
bike safety and injury prevention. The children are instructed on
the "rules of the road" and how and why to wear a bike
helmet.
How the Program Works
A "safety town" is created utilizing cones, road signs and
obstacles. The children ride their own bikes or bikes provided by
SIRH through the course after receiving instructions from the recreation
therapists leading the program. The children participate in a
variety of games/activities to increase their bike handling skills.

The children receive special instruction which
includes: bike safety skills such as hand signals; how to
cross railroad tracks; what to wear when riding a bike; how to
properly fit a helmet; and why helmet wear is crucial for
safety. |
