Twelve members of the Big D Cycling team attended the 8th Annual Kansas City Kansas West Kiwanis Bike Safety Rodeo at Schlitterbahn Kansas City Water Park on Saturday, May 17. They volunteered their time and talent to inspect and adjust more than 150 bicycles for some well-deserving youngsters. The event is held to promote bike safety and to promote an activity that can be part of a healthy lifestyle.

Michael Fiola was generous enough to donate his circa 1990 steel-frame Miyata road bike. Michael cleaned the bike and put new tires, pedals and bar tape on it. The bike was given away to a lucky 11-year-old, whose infectious smile was all the thanks the Big D Cycling volunteers needed to complete the day.

Our team involvement with this annual event is directly aligned with our title sponsor’s, Keen Wealth Advisors, promotion of junior racing.
