Southfield Parks and Recreation and partners will host Bike Safety Night on Tuesday, May 6 from 5:30-7:30 p.m. in the north parking lot of the Southfield Municipal Campus near the Parks & Recreation building, 26000 Evergreen Road. This free event is a great opportunity for the whole family to learn, ride, and stay safe together. 

Families are encouraged to bring their bicycles for on-site safety checks performed by local experts. Participants should also bring a properly fitted helmet; however, those without one can receive a free helmet courtesy of Corewell Health Children, who will be on-site to professionally fit and distribute helmets to the first 400 visitors.

Once bikes and helmets are ready, families can ride through the Bike Skills Course, designed to teach and reinforce essential bike safety skills—including understanding road signs and practicing proper hand signals for turning. The Southfield Police Department will also be present to provide guidance on safely sharing the road with others. After completing all Bike Safety Night stations, participants can enter a drawing to win a new bicycle.
