The event was organized by students with the school’s Diversity and Reunification Team, in part to promote student safety after a student was struck by a car while biking and killed.
The Charlotte County Sheriff’s Office has announced that they will be taking part again this year, working in partnership with Charlotte County Public Schools and the Punta Gorda Police Department.
The Youth Bike Safety Event will “provide safety information, and include giveaways, refreshments, raffles, and a bike rodeo,” according to a CCSO press statement.
Attendees will also be able to learn about biking laws and the “expectations of motorists in regard to bicyclists.”
The second annual Youth Bike Safety Event is scheduled for Saturday, April 15 from 8 a.m. to 12 noon at Port Charlotte High School.
