The Quakertown Bike Rodeo is an event held for children between the ages of 6 and 12 years old. It is held annually on the second Saturday of May.
This year’s event will be held on Saturday, May 9th, 2026. The event is held at the Quakertown Community Pool parking lot: 601 W. Mill St. Registration begins at 9:00am that morning.
The event is broken down into three age groups; 6-7 years old, 8-9 years old, and 10-12 years old. Medals are provided to the participants with the top three scores in each group.
The program is designed to promote bicycle safety. All participants are required to wear a safety helmet. Helmets are provided to children who do not have one. The children are provided instructions and demonstrations on how to properly fit and wear their helmets. They are also provided instruction on safe riding techniques and how to utilize proper hand signals.
Prior to participating in the event, the children’s bicycles are inspected for safety. During the event, participants are tested in bicycle safety skills and knowledge. Skills are tested through six courses; Circling, Serpentine, Balance, Maneuvering, Steering, and Braking. There is an additional ten question quiz to test the participant’s knowledge.
At the conclusion of the event there will be a bicycle drawing, hand outs, and refreshments for all participants.
