The Takoma Park Police Department will be hosting a community event on April 28, 2012, from 10:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. at the Takoma Park Community Center (7500 Maple Avenue - rear parking lot) called "Gear Up Takoma." It will be a fun-filled day where citizens (adults and children alike!) can bring their bicycles, scooters, and skateboards to ride through some safety obstacle courses and a crosswalk simulation activity. All ages welcome! There will also be a:
- bicycle maintenance workshop
- car seat workshop
- helmet fitting
- a raffle for several helmets
- light refreshments
And one new addition...a donation site for any unused or unwanted bicycle and bicycle parts (which will be donated to less fortunate areas in other countries).
Partnerships for the event include: Takoma Park Safe Routes to School, The Green Commuter, Takoma Bicycle, Montgomery County Safe Kids Program and Bikes for the World.
Any questions, please contact Officer Carla Magnaye at carlam@takomagov.org.
