Kdun – FOBPR Hosts Bike Rodeo at Ocean Crest Elementary in Bandon on Friday, May 2, bringing energy, excitement, and education to local children. Organized by Friends of Bandon Parks & Recreation (FOBPR), a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit, the event marked the second annual Bike Rodeo an initiative designed to promote healthy lifestyles and bicycle safety among young students.
The Bike Rodeo, originally envisioned by Christine Hall, President Emeritus of FOBPR, featured interactive stations where children learned key biking skills. From navigating obstacle courses to practicing hand signals, students gained hands-on experience in a fun and supportive environment. Volunteers, local law enforcement, and school staff were on-site to guide participants through safety protocols and answer questions from parents.

One of the highlights of the day was the donation of 10 brand-new bicycles to local kids who didn’t previously own one. FOBPR Hosts Bike Rodeo not only to teach safety but also to ensure access, giving children the opportunity to enjoy the outdoors in a healthy, independent way.
Each donated bike was paired with a properly fitted helmet and a quick safety lesson. Making sure the recipients were road-ready. These donations were made possible through partnerships with local businesses and generous community supporters. Who believe in the power of recreation to change lives.
Christine Hall shared, “This is about more than just bikes. It’s about giving children the tools to grow stronger, more confident, and more connected to their community.”
As FOBPR Hosts Bike Rodeo for the second consecutive year, the event continues to grow in size and impact. With enthusiastic support from the community. The nonprofit hopes to expand the program in the coming years, including more educational resources. Larger participation, and additional bike giveaways.
Events like the Bike Rodeo reflect FOBPR’s broader mission creating opportunities for children and families to engage in healthy. Active lifestyles through local parks and recreation. Through simple efforts like this, the organization continues to plant seeds for a healthier, more connected Bandon.
