North Hempstead Council Member Mariann Dalimonte, the Port Washington Police Department, the Port Washington Public Library, and Bicycle Playground hosted a Bicycle Rodeo, Helmet Safety, and Story Time event in the roller rink at Manorhaven Beach Park on April 24.

Children who participated in the program attended a series of courses focused on learning bicycle safety and agility skills. They also had their tires, seats, handlebar height, chains, and helmets checked. Afterwards, the children enjoyed bicycle-related stories read to them by Rachel Fox of the Port Washington Public Library.
