Practicing safe techniques, wearing a helmet and having a safe bike are the first steps in preventing bicycle related injuries and deaths. The Watertown Optimist Club along with SDSU extension, Codington County Sheriff and Watertown Police Departments will be inspecting bicycles for safety concerns.
Students who have their bicycle inspected will receive a coupon from Papa Murphy's Pizza and their names will be put in a drawing for a free helmet sponsored by SD Emergency Medical Services for Children and the South Dakota Highway Safety Program. We will be at Henry after school dismissal on Monday, May 12 to inspect and repair bicycles until 4:00 pm. Find us at the bike racks.
