Logistics <br />Rodeos are set up at community events. <br />b. Registration <br />All bicyclists participating in the rodeo are required to submit a <br />permission form signed by a parent or legal guardian. The permission <br />forms are made available on the day of the event and distributed to <br />schools. Children who participated as pedestrians are not required to <br />submit a permission form. <br />c. Bicycle & Helmet Inspection <br />Each bicycle that is brought to the rodeo is inspected by Safe Moves. <br />Minor repairs are made (e.g. tires inflated and tightening of handlebars <br />and seats). Only approved bicycles are allowed on the course. <br />If a bicycle does not pass inspection, the child is not allowed to ride the <br />bike on the course. A Safe Moves bike will be provided for the child to <br />use on the course. <br />Each helmet that is brought to the rodeo is inspected. A rodeo staff <br />member inspects the helmet for proper fit, certification and for wear and <br />tear. Recommendations are made to each child and parent if the helmet <br />needs to be replaced. <br />SAFE MOVES CSA Page 8 of 21 <br />Proj ect No. 120-3 8-176 <br />
