Gloucester Township Bike Rodeo set for May.

The rodeo gives bicyclists a chance to practice and develop skills that will help them to become better bicyclists and avoid crashes.

Gloucester Township, NJ -- Gloucester Township’s fifth annual Bicycle Rodeo is set for Saturday, May 21, 10 a.m.-1 p.m. at the Camden County Timber Creek Dog Park on Chews Landing Road in Gloucester Township.

The rodeo gives bicyclists a chance to practice and develop skills that will help them to become better bicyclists and avoid typical crashes, according to the Gloucester Township Police Department’s Community Relations Bureau, which sponsors the event.

“The goal of any bicycle rodeo is to provide an opportunity for the participants to learn, practice, and demonstrate their bicycle handling skills in a fun, noncompetitive atmosphere,” police said in a statement. “Residents of all ages are encouraged to attend and please bring your bicycle and bicycle safety helmet so it can be properly fitted by members of Safekids Southern New Jersey.”
