The Town of Sylvan Lake is inviting local families to participate in a free Bike Rodeo on May 9, 2026, designed to help children sharpen their cycling skills. The event will take place from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. at the Wellness & Community Connections Centre, located at 4725 – 43 Street.

During the afternoon, children can visit several interactive stations to practise important safety techniques. The activities will cover safe riding habits, proper use of hand signals, and road awareness. Participants will also get the chance to test their balance and control on an obstacle course, along with receiving helmet safety checks to ensure their gear is fitted correctly.

All children are welcome to take part in the event, though parents must attend in person to sign consent forms before their children can join the activities. To help keep energy levels high, organizers will provide snacks and gift bags while supplies last.

The facility hosting the event is part of a partnership between the town, Family and Community Support Services, and the Government of Alberta. This program is part of the ongoing efforts by the local town council, which began its current term in October 2025.
