The Kiwanis Club of Long Beach will host its third annual Children’s Bicycle Safety Rodeo on Saturday, May 9, from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at the Long Beach Recreation Center basketball courts. With special thanks to the Kiwanis Children’s Fund and Apple Bank of Long Beach for their financial support, the event is presented in partnership with the Long Beach Police Department (LBPD), the Long Beach Recreation Center, and the Long Beach Fire Department (LBFD).
Designed for elementary school-aged children, the Bicycle Safety Rodeo will provide hands-on instruction in safe bicycle handling using the nationally recognized AAA Bike Rodeo program as a guide. Participants will navigate a supervised skills course while learning essential safety techniques.
Helmets will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis, with LBFD personnel assisting children to ensure proper fit. Local bicycle mechanics such as Long Beach Bicycles and West End Bike Shop will be available to inspect and tune bikes, and the LBPD will offer on-site bicycle registration to help prevent theft or assist in recovery. Children will also enjoy bike and helmet decorating, refreshments, and the opportunity to enter raffles to win one of four brand-new bicycles and other bike safety kits.

Are you feeling anxious, depressed, or helpless? Stressed out or overwhelmed by your life circumstances or the suffering in the world? Are you looking for a non-judgmental space to just be yourself, to express whatever’s on your heart?
We’re social beings and need to have an outlet for being seen, heard, and understood. This rings true now more than ever. This gathering will provide a safe and sacred space that is free of judgement for slowing down and showing up exactly as you are, to receive and offer support in community. It blends our ancestral need for communing in circle with meditation, movement, reflection, and creativity.
Participants should bring something to sit or lay on (a yoga mat, blanket), something to write with (pens, pencils, markers), and something to write on (journal, pad, notebook). You may also want to bring prose, poetry, song, etc. to share, and any sacred objects that resonate with your healing journey.
All are welcome. No experience is needed. Only an open heart and mind.
