The Texas A&M International University Police Department and  Campus Crime Watch Program will host a Bike Safety Course this Saturday, July 8 from 8:00am to 11:00am at the Student Center Parking Lot. 

The event is open to the public and is free of charge.

All riders must bring their own bikes, helmets and or any elbow and knee pads.  Parents must accompany their children and remain with their children at all times.

Registration will take place at 8:00 am followed by a  bike and helmet inspection.
