Join us for a Youth Bicycle Safety Day on Saturday, June 27, 2026, from 10 a.m. to noon at the Winnebago County Fairgrounds, Building 4, 500 W. 1st Street, Pecatonica. Participants will rotate through bicycle stations, including a bicycle pre-check, helmet check, riding in traffic, rules of the road, crossing intersections, and hand signals. All participants will then ride as a group around the fairgrounds and conclude with a hot dog, chips, and a drink, plus lunch for participants, courtesy of the Pecatonica Lions Club.
This event is open to ANY youth aged 5-18 years. You do NOT have to be in 4-H to register!
This event is co-sponsored by The Bicycle Hub, Pecatonica Lions Club, Illinois Extension, and Winnebago County 4-H.
Two participants will go home with brand-new bikes from The Bicycle Hub in downtown Pecatonica and a goodie bag!
