Riding a bike is a little like driving a car (if you’ve never driven a car, you’ll just have to trust us on this one.) Both can be fun. They're both great skills to have. And if you’re careless, both can be really dangerous.
And just like driving tests for cars, one of the ways you can improve your skills on the bike is with a driving test. These skills tests, or bike rodeos, are an important part of learning to ride in the real world – for kids, and even adults who haven’t been on a bike in a long time.
There are two ways to test your skills at a bike rodeo. One way is to look for a bike rodeo in your area. They’re sometimes held by local governments, cycling clubs or schools. The other approach is to put together your own course. And, thankfully, some who really know about bike safety have done hard work for you.
Here’s a tip: If you’re an adult rider in a big city, check for local rider safety courses that specifically deal with the sometimes harrowing issues that urban cyclists and bike commuters face every day.
