LACONIA — The annual Kiwanis Club of Laconia Bike ‘n’ Board returns this year on Saturday, May 17, from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. This year’s event will include skill and safety stations for bicyclists, scooter riders, and skateboarders.
Annual favorites, the Laconia Police Department will manage the helmet check and bike registration station, ensuring everyone has the right fit in time for the riding season. The Laconia Fire Department will be on hand to share safety and first aid tips, focusing on injuries that can occur while riding bikes, scooters, and skateboards. Myles Chase, owner of MC Cycle, will be available to give tune-ups and show riders how to help themselves should something happen to their equipment while riding.
Once bikes, boards, and scooters are tuned and ready to go, participants will visit each station to practice basic riding skills. Volunteers from Laconia Kiwanis, LHS Key Club, and Partnership for Public Health will monitor each station, should anyone need a helping hand. Participants will receive a certificate of completion and have a chance to win great raffle prizes and enjoy refreshments after all that hard work.
Parking will be available at the Opechee Park parking lot or along North Main Street. Participants will begin at the helmet check and tune-up stations located in this parking lot.
