In order to participate:
- Each child needs to bring their own bike. Please make sure the bike fits the child and is in usable condition (chain is intact, brakes work, tires are not flat, etc).
- Each child needs to bring and wear a properly fitting helmet.
- Each child must have a parent or adult present for the duration of the program.
Parents/adults will have an opportunity to meet with volunteers from Bike Newton and Newton Safe Routes to Schools to learn more about biking opportunities in Newton. Social distancing and face coverings are required throughout the event. May 2nd will be a makeup date in case we need to cancel due to bad weather.
