This is an interactive program for children ages 6 to 12 years old, designed to promote cycling as a safe method of transportation in a context they can enjoy. Children are taught the basics of cycling safety in a controlled environment, such as a school yard, parking lot, or basketball court. They become familiar with the importance of helmets, signage, bicycle maintenance, handling, and are able to put their knowledge to the test by driving through a mini main street!
At the end of the Bike Rodeo, children will bike away with better cycling habits and a familiarity with the rules of the road.
City of Ottawa Bike Rodeos are offered to schools and community groups free of charge by the City of Ottawa Cycling Education Team in collaboration with Safer Roads Ottawa.

Ceci est un programme interactif pour enfants de 6 - 12 ans, conçu pour promouvoir le cyclisme comme moyen de transport sécuritaire dans un contexte agréable. Les enfants apprennent les rudiments de la sécurité à vélo dans un environnement contrôlé, par exemple une cour d’école, un parc de stationnement ou un terrain de basket-ball. On leur explique l’importance de porter un casque, les panneaux de signalisation à connaître et des notions d’entretien et de manipulation d’un vélo. Ils peuvent ensuite mettre leurs connaissances en pratique en roulant dans une rue principale miniature !
À la fin du rodéo à vélo, les enfants auront acquis de meilleures habitudes à vélo et une certaine connaissance du Code de la route.
Les rodéos à vélo de la Ville d’Ottawa sont offerts gratuitement aux écoles et aux groupes communautaires par l’équipe des programmes de cyclisme de la Ville, en collaboration avec Sécurité des routes Ottawa.
