Traveling Rodeo Teaches Bike Safety

MUSC Children's Hospital takes its Traveling Bike Rodeo on the road to educate the community on safety. The hospital obtained funding from CSX Railroad Company for the development of a traveling bike and pedestrian educational tool for use at events that promote safety. Additionally, partnering with MUSC Children's Hospital residents fundraising initiative, Beards for Babies, a donation was given for this project. The donation helped supply equipment and helmets for the Traveling Bike Rodeo. Data on use of helmets and knowledge of best bike and pedestrian safety practices will be collected and reported by the MUSC Children's Hospital Injury Free Coalition for Kids.
