🚲🎉 Congratulations to Riley and Luca, the lucky winners of the bike raffle at the Bike Rodeo held on May 9 at Block 59 in Pontiac!

We were proud to partner with the City of Pontiac, IL - Municipal Government to host this fun and educational community event. We loved seeing so many families come out to learn about bike safety and enjoy a great day together.

A special thank you to Walmart for generously donating the raffle bike and to Casey's for providing pizza for all attendees. Your support helped make this event a huge success!

Congratulations again to Riley and Luca, we hope you enjoy your new bikes and have many safe and exciting adventures ahead! 🚴‍♀️🚴‍♂️
