Bike Rodeo

The Copley Police Department sponsors an annual Bike Rodeo.  The event is held in Montrose in the parking lot of the Home Depot.  This program is for elementary-aged children and is designed to encourage safe bike riding techniques.

Eddy’s Bike Shop employees are on hand to conduct safety inspections of each child’s bike and make any minor adjustments on the spot. Children receive a free bike helmet if they need one.  Children can ride their bikes through several stations, and an obstacle course, and learn how to obey a traffic signal.

Local businesses participate in the event with handouts for the children, and Home Depot provides refreshments.

This event is free to the public and is another Copley Police Department Community Policing activity. 

Bike Rodeo 2025 was a success! The weather was not so great; cold dark and windy, but the turn-out was fabulous!  We had over 200 people attend.  I think this is the largest Bike Rodeo to date!  

Thank You, first of all, to the Copley Township Service Department for all the hard work they do behind the scenes, helping prepare for the event, setting up and tearing down the day of the event.  We couldn't do it without you!  

Another big Thank You to the Copley Police Department employees, who come to the Bike Rodeo and help in any way they can, by designing and building the obstacle course, set up and tear down, fitting bike helmets to each and every child and just walking around and enjoying the day with everyone! 

To the businesses that support this event by coming out and sponsoring a table, having fun with the kids and handing out goodies; We truly couldn't have this event without each and every one of you. THANK YOU!! A THANK YOU to Home Depot, for sponsoring the refreshments every year, grilling hot dogs, offering drinks and chips to everyone. To the multiple businesses that donate bikes which we raffle at the end of the day, if you've seen their faces, you know how much this means to them and their families, 

THANK YOU EVERYONE!!

Lastly, to all the adults that brought kids to the event, thank you for taking time out of your day to bring the kids to our annual Bike Rodeo. We love seeing their smiling faces and excitement while doing all the activities.  When you see the pictures, you will know why we continue to offer community events.
