The idea
Create a bike rodeo event on a closed off MLK Boulevard/Malcolm X Park in Roxbury to create bike joy and health benefits for local kids. Today kids have no space to show off their bike skills
Who it helps and why
Biking and bike skills are very popular with kids in Roxbury but there are no bike lanes, pump tracks, or spaces for kids to connect, practice, and ride. Biking is healthy and fun
