Billings' Chase Hawks 'Buckaroo Bike Rodeo' is Coming Up

When I was a kid, my brothers and loved our bikes. We lived in the country and put what felt like hundreds of miles on our bicycles every summer, riding the two miles to Grandma and Grampa's house, the creek, into town to hit the pool, or wherever we wanted to go.

A properly operating bicycle is necessary for safety and smooth operation, and the Chase Hawks Memorial Association wants to make sure kids in the Billings area are ready to go for summer. Their annual Buckaroo Bike Rodeo is April 26th from 10 am to 2 pm at Albertsons on 6th and Central.

Each year, the organization and a team of volunteers help check out kids' bicycles, providing free tune-ups, chain lubrication, adjusting handlebars and seats, or replacing flat tires.
