    1) ONLINE Bike Safety Course<\/h4>\n

    Any child can take the online Bike Safety Course at any time.\u00a0\u00a0To do so, click on this green link: Bike Walk Indian River County<\/a><\/strong> and take the Online Bike Safety Course with your child participant present<\/strong><\/em>.<\/h4>\n

    2) IN-PERSON HANDS-ON Bike Clinic (See Instructions and Dates\/Times Below)<\/strong><\/h4>\n

    The Hands-On Bike Clinic will teach kids a number of things according to their skill levels (which will be evaluated), such as how to ride without training wheels, how to ride a small oval course in both directions, how to corner, swerve, stop, and place their bicycle pedals in the power start position, as well as other safe or advanced cycling techniques.<\/p>\n

    To Participate in the In-Person Hands-On Bike Clinic, your child MUST have a Bike & Helmet, and, in this order: <\/strong><\/h3>\n

    FIRST:\u00a0 <\/strong><\/em>Be Registered in the Rotary Kids Triathlon, and<\/h3>\n

    You are welcome to let Bike Walk Indian River County know if you are stuck without a bike or helmet (please read all of these important steps below). But… there is a very limited supply of bikes<\/strong> which could be loaned out to Indian River County residents on a first-come first-served basis<\/em>*<\/strong>.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

    Should a bike be assigned to your child participant for Race Day (no guarantees), they will be required to attend a Mandatory Hands-On In-Person Bike Safety Clinic<\/em><\/strong> at no charge well in advance of Race Day.\u00a0 The deadline to request equipment is November 1, 2024 (therefore NO BIKES will be assigned to any participants after November 1<\/strong>).<\/span><\/p>\n

    *<\/strong>If you are an IRC resident and have exhausted your sources to borrow a bike and\/or helmet, then here are the steps for you to take:<\/h4>\n
      \n
    1. Register your child in the Rotary Kids Triathlon by clicking the Green “REGISTER NOW” button on the top right-hand side of this page (when you register your child online, there is a section where you will need to advise us that you are requesting to borrow a bike and\/or helmet) [NOTE:<\/strong> If your child participates in an after-school youth program (such as GYAC, Boys & Girls Club, Float Hope, Crossover Mission, etc.), then you should also advise them of your child’s desire to register for the Rotary Kids Triathlon and their need for a bike and\/or helmet]<\/em><\/li>\n

    4. If it turns out that this equipment is un<\/em>available, we will refund your registration fee if your child is unable to participate<\/li>\n
    5. If a bike\/helmet is<\/em> available, your child will be required to attend a Mandatory Free In-Person Hands-On Bike Clinic<\/strong> conducted by Bike Walk Indian River County (at the beginning of this clinic, there will be a bike technician present to ensure the bike is properly fitted\/adjusted for your child) [NOTE:<\/strong> Bike Walk IRC will be keeping all borrowed bikes\/helmets (if a bike is assigned to your child, they must be registered in the Rotary Kids Triathlon and they will only be able to use the assigned bike at Pre-Race Preparatory Clinics and on Race Day)]<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
