A free bicycle rodeo at Ashford University on Saturday, July 24 will raise awareness of bike safety and raise funds for The Arch, an organization that works with people with developmental disabilities. Sponsored by the Ashford University Future Leaders Program, the event will be held from 8:30-11 a.m. at the University campus parking lot on Springdale Drive.  

The public is invited to participate in the bicycle rodeo that will feature several stations promoting bicycle registration, bicycle inspections, helmet safety, and an obstacle course. Participants who complete the obstacle course will receive a certificate and will be eligible to enter a drawing for prizes. There will also be a live BMX demonstration featuring stunts and safety precautions. 

Funds may be donated directly to The Arch at the July 24 Ashford University event.
