JPD to host Bicycle Safety Fair

The Joplin Police Department is excited to announce we are hosting a Bicycle Safety Fair on May 4, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on the parking lot of East Middle School, located at 4594 E. 20th Street. As we move into warmer months there will be more children and families on bicycles in our community.

This event is designed to bring safety awareness to families about cycling and being on the roadway. During this event, families will be able to learn about mechanical safety and routine maintenance dealing with bicycles. Additionally, there will be an obstacle course set up for families to learn about and practice good riding habits.

The Bicycle Safety Fair will also be filled with numerous vendors, emergency vehicles, and food trucks. Families will also have the opportunity to register their bicycles while enjoying the fun. So, load up the family and bicycles and come see us on May 4th for a fun filled event.
