Attention All Bike Riders
The Bay Mills Safe Kids Coalition will not hold a bike rodeo this year. In conjunction with May's Safe Bike Month, the Coalition will display information on safe riding and bicycle helmets in the Bay Mills Medical Center's lobby area.
With all this information available, the Bay Mills Law Enforcement has agreed to work with the Coalition to issue tickets to all young people who are seen wearing their helmets.
Each ticket will enable the responsible bike rider a chance to win a new bike in a drawing to be held in August. The more tickets issued to each rider, the better chance there is of winning a bike.
For more information, please contact Healthy Start Nurse Joann LeBlanc at 248-5527.
