Oyster Bay Town Councilman Steve Labriola announced that the Town will host a Kids Bicycle Safety Day at Marjorie Post Park in Massapequa on Saturday, April 11th from 11am to 1pm. The event is being run in partnership with the Massapequa Kiwanis Club and the Nassau County Police Department and will focus on important bicycle safety for children of all ages.
“With the warm days of spring rapidly approaching, the topic of bicycle safety is of the utmost importance as children of all ages head out to enjoy the beautiful weather,” said Councilman Labriola. “With the enjoyment of riding comes a need for appropriate responsibility. When riders of all ages understand how to share the road responsibly, we reduce preventable injuries, ease traffic congestion and encourage safety and fun.”
Youngsters should bring their own bikes and helmets to the park. Bicycle Safety Day will include police-led safety demonstrations, including learning the importance of riding responsibly, wearing a helmet and preventing reckless riding. A fun obstacle course will also be set up for participants to enjoy.
Kids Bicycle Safety Day is coordinated by the Massapequa Kiwanis Club and the Nassau County Police Department. Majorie Post Park is located in Massapequa at 451 Unqua Road. For more information, visit the Kiwanis Club website at massapequakiwanis.org.
