Ontario Provincial Police will host a couple of bicycle rodeo's next week.
Summer student Samantha Mueller says events are planned for next Tuesday morning in Emo and Wednesday afternoon in Atikokan.
"We set up different courses and challenges for the kids to come out," says Mueller. "We teach them about the safety of their helmets and put their bike skills to the test by letting them run through these courses."
Mueller says young cyclists aged four to twelve also get lessons on proper riding safety.
The Emo event takes place Tuesday morning at 9:30 a.m. at the tennis courts.
The Atikokan rodeo is scheduled for next Wednesday afternoon at 1 p.m. at North Star Community School.
