REI Sandy Presents Bike Bonanza 2007

Recreational Equipment, Inc.’s (REI) Sandy store, located at 230 W 10600 S in the northwest corner of the South Towne Mall Property, will host Bike Bonanza 2007 on Saturday, April 14th from 11am-3pm.

The 3rd Annual Sandy Bike Bonanza will continue to focus on safety and awareness while bicycling.

Kids will have the opportunity to learn about proper bike safety at the Bike Rodeo, sponsored by the Sandy Police Department. Navigating their way through the course of cones and signs will earn each child a certificate. Free Helmets will be given away to the first 50 youth participants. Cyclists of all ages can also attend one of the 8 mini-clinics on various topics such as Basic bike maintenance, Bike safety and Ride preparation, being presented throughout the day. Free bike inspections by certified REI technicians and bike registration will also be offered.

There is no charge for this event. Please call 801-501-0850 with questions, or click the Stores & Events tab on REI.com for more information on this and other REI events.
