Watertown Optimist Club's Bike Safety Inspections: Practicing safe techniques, wearing a helmet and having a safe bike are the first steps in preventing bicycle related injuries and deaths. The Watertown Optimist Club along with the Codington County Extension Service and Watertown Police Department will be inspecting bicycles for safety concerns at no charge from May 2-16.
Students who have their bicycle inspected will receive a coupon from Papa Murphy’s Pizza and their name will be put in a drawing for a free helmet sponsored by SD Emergency Medical Services for Children and the South Dakota Highway Safety Program. We will be at each site after school dismissal to inspect and repair bicycles until 4:00 pm. Find us at the bike racks. Students are welcome to go to any school for the bicycle inspections. McKinley's inspections will be held on Friday, May 6!
