Several Big D Cycling team members donated their time, knowledge, tools and skills on Saturday, August 29, to help the Shawnee Rotary Club and the City of Shawnee with their 10th Annual Bike Safety Rodeo.
Dave Chapman led the cause, where the team assisted with the inspection of 300-400 kids’ bicycles. They were presented with the usual issues: tweaked handle bars, saddle adjustments, under-inflated tires and bent or missing or barely-there brake pads.
The team had very few extreme issues that were beyond their ability to rectify – those that required a more extensive fix were recommended to visit either of the two Kansas City BikeSource locations.
Helping at local bike safety rodeos has been a key part of our volunteer work in the community, as it ties in closely with Keen Wealth Advisors‘ sponsorship of junior racing in the Kansas Cycling Association.
