Over 50 people attended the 2008 Pack 478 / Lagos Elementary School Bike Rodeo.  Awesome!!

• The Bike Rodeo was sponsored by the Phoenix Police department.  HUGE thanks to Officer Toby Ehrler the City of Phoenix Police Department Bicycle and Pedestrian Safety Coordinator for building this year's bicycle course, teaching bicycle safety, supplying those in need with some quality Bell Helmets and for being the kind of role model our Scouts and community members trust and value.
   

• The Bike Rodeo was also sponsored by Javelina Cycles (www.JavelinaCycles.com) at 4647 East Chandler Blvd in Ahwatukee.  Jay Stewart provided bicycle tune-ups, break-fix services, safety checks, riding tips and tons of great literature.  Jay is also the President of the Phoenix Metro Bike Club.  A big THANK YOU to Javelina Cycels and to Jay for their support.  If you have questions or would like training, Javelina can be reached at 480-598-3373 and Jay can be reached at 480-250-1613.
