The Sullivan Parks & Recreation Committee and the Maine Bicycle Coalition are organizing a Bike Rodeo at the Sullivan–Sorrento Recreation Center on May 9 to teach bicycle safety using a simulated road course. The event is tentatively scheduled for 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Organizers said they will seek volunteers to handle registration, helmet fitting and safety checks, and they requested helmet donations from retailers including Walmart, Rennie’s, Cadillac Mountain Sports and Dick’s Sporting Goods. The committee discussed potential additions such as food trucks and a fire truck visit to increase family appeal.
Promotion will focus on outreach through local schools, flyers and community channels to reach families with children. Eric, joining on behalf of the Maine Bicycle Coalition, worked with committee members on program details and logistics.
The committee set next steps to continue planning, recruit volunteers and confirm event logistics ahead of the May 9 date.
