I call these Bicyclist Skills Courses - - Arthur Arthur Ross, Pedestrian-Bicycle Coordinator City of Madison Traffic Engineering Division 215 Martin Luther King, Jr. Blvd., Suite 100 PO Box 2986 Madison, WI 53701-2986 608/266-6225 From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of India Viola Sent: Friday, July 29, 2011 5:20 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [Bikies] Nominations for alternative names for a "bike rodeo"?
Here's a little idea that has been tumbling around in my head for a while. Every time that I hear "bike rodeo" I envision people trying to learn how to ride fixed gears and being bucked off of their bikes. Kid's bike rodeos, which are the only ones I've ever heard reference to, sound confusing and off-putting to me. It's not an intuitive name for a bike safety event, even if that event includes challenging bike skill activities. I am greatly in favor of holding these types of events for kids and adults alike, and I think that we could come up with a better, more descriptive and equally fun-sounding name for this type of bike skills and safe-riding event. I am under the impression that our bike rodeos would be better attended if parents and kids understood what the event entailed when they hear about it or see a posting or event listing in the media. What do you other bikies think? -india
