Annual Bike Rodeo
The New Hope Police Department participates in the an annual Bike Rodeo the first week of May each year. The Bike Rodeo is co-sponsored by police, fire and parks and recreation as well as several community groups and volunteers from the cities of New Hope, Crystal, Golden Valley and Robbinsdale. The location of the Bike Rodeo rotates each year. In 2021 the Bike Rodeo is scheduled to occur on Thursday, May 6, 2021 from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Crystal Community Center (4800 Douglas Drive). We hope to see everyone there and look forward to kicking off the biking season with some fun and important safety reminders for new and experienced riders.
The Bike Rodeo is open to the public and includes safety courses for children to ride through, low-cost helmet sales, helmet fitting, food and bike safety prizes. A flyer will be available as the event gets closer.
Prevent Bike Theft
Please take the time to record the Make, Model, Serial Number, Color, and anything unique about your bike. Put this information in a safe place in case your bike is ever stolen. Take photos of the serial # and of the whole bike so there is a better chance of your bike being returned if recovered by police. The chances of recovery without the serial number are very low, and it is also difficult to prove the bike belongs to you. If you have Operation ID, etch your number on your bicycle! If you would like to sign up for Operation ID to mark your bicycle and other valuable property, Please Contact Us.
