By Olivia Mendoza 502nd Air Base Wing Public Affairs Visual Information

The 2017 Spring Bike Rodeo took place April 8 at Joint Base San Antonio-Fort Sam Houston. 

Parents and children were shown  a safety video by the San Antonio Police Department before riding their bikes. SAPD Officers and Explorers, Bexar County Sheriff Motorcycle Traffic Controllers and members of the 502nd Security Forces Squadron provided educational, encouragement and enforcement programs that support bicycling in San Antonio.

The bike rodeo was also an opportunity for kids and adults to increase their riding skills by negotiating several obstacles and/or tracks, testing their riding abilities. Individuals also got the opportunity to get their bike inspected, tuned up and bike registered.
