Tampa Police Bicycle Safety Rodeo for Kids

The Tampa Police Bicycle Operations and Response Unit will be teaching kids from the community about bicycle safety, including how to properly wear a helmet, check for traffic at intersections, and maneuver their bikes through an obstacle course during a Tampa Police Bicycle Safety Rodeo being held on May 10, 2026.

The bicycle rodeo will be held from 10:00 am until 1:00 pm at Armature Works, located at 1910 N. Ola Ave. While supplies last, Officers will provide free bicycle helmets to kids who do not have one yet. Officers will also assist parents in registering their family bicycles with the Tampa Police Department. Registering is free and gives the bike an ID number, making it easier for officers to recover it if the bike is stolen.

The Tampa Police Department bicycle rodeos help support the City of Tampa Vision Zero Action Plan goal of eliminating all roadway deaths and life-altering injuries while increasing safe, healthy, equitable mobility for all. Promoting bicycle safety helps reduce the number of citizens seriously injured or killed in traffic crashes and encourages everyone using our shared roadways to be aware of how they can help us make Tampa safer, together.
