Cranberry Bike Rodeo To Focus On Cyclist Safety

CRANBERRY TOWNSHIP, PA — Cyclist safety will be the focus of the township's upcoming bike rodeo, which returns June 24 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in Community Park. The event will be held rain or shine.

The rodeo will be presented by township police and EMS, as well as community partners the Cranberry Elks, AAA East Central, Dick’s Sporting Goods and Trek Bicycle.

Via a series of stations, officers and volunteers from Trek Cycling will perform free bike inspections and helmet fittings. Staff will teach hand signals to be used while riding, as well as provide additional safety tips. Participants will then test their skills on the obstacle course, which will feature educational stops along the way.

The event will also feature giveaways, refreshments, raffles and more.
