Bicycle Safety Rodeo teaches young children to ride safely

The Gettysburg Church of the Brethren, in collaboration with the Cumberland Township Police Department, held a bicycle safety rodeo for children, ages 4 – 11, on the church campus last weekend.  The event featured bicycle safety checks, safety training, fun hand-outs, and a marked riding course.
