Bicycle Rodeo

Bicycle Rodeo

May 8th is the Mission Academy Bicycle Rodeo.  Please bring your child's bicycle to the practice gym in the morning. ( I would label the bike with child's name and teacher's name.)

TOTAL NET INSPECTION POINTS
               BONUS POINTS
HELMET               TOTAL NET
We will also inspect helmets as part of the bicycle rodeo inspection. Riders whose bicycle fail
to score 100 points on the inspection may be awarded up to 10 points by having a bicycle hel-
met. Acceptable helmets should have an ANSI (American National Standard Institute) or Snell
Memorial Foundation sticker on them.
Example: A contestant has everything required on his or her bicycle except a bell (5 points). If
that rider has a helmet, he or she can still score 100 points on the bicycle inspection.
THE MAXIMUM SCORE ON THE INSPECTION IS 100 POINTS. THERE IS NO PENALTY
FOR NOT HAVING A HELMET.
The majority of bicycle accidents involving children do not occur with cars, they are the result of
falls. We strongly encourage all children to wear a helmet when they ride because serious head
injuries can occur when falling from a bicycle.
