The Optimist Club of Stanley Park

Bike Rodeos

Beginning back in 1985,  the Club hosted an annual bicycle rodeo at vaious locations in the Stanley Park area of Kitchener drawing between 150 to 300 participants (depending on the weather). Each year's event featured complimentary refreshments for all participants, gifts and door prizes, bike checkups and free tune-ups as needed. Additional volunteer help was often provided by the Kitchener Boy Scouts Troup #1.

For the last several years of its operation, the event was co-hosted by the Stanley Park Community Association and held in its parking lot at the corner of Ottawa St. and Franklin Blvd.
