Heads were protected and bikes were perfected during an annual bike rodeo Saturday, May 17, in Shaler .
Children were fitted for and received free helmets during the rodeo in Kiwanis Park, where a half-dozen mechanics were also on hand to tend to maintenance needs.
Kids also had a chance to win one of 21 bikes, Shaler police Chief Sean Frank said.
More than 120 children were estimated to have attended the 17th annual event. They were able to ride through an obstacle course to learn about safe riding and the rules of the road.
Light refreshments were provided.
The rodeo was sponsored by police departments in Shaler, Etna, Millvale and Reserve and Shaler Hampton EMS.
