Dover Water Patrol to Host a Bike Rodeo
Location: Dover Town Hall – 4110 South Beaumont Avenue Kansasville, WI 53139

Time: 10AM-2PM
On Sunday, June 24, 2018, the Dover Water Patrol will be hosting a bike rodeo at the Town of Dover Town Hall
(4110 South Beaumont Avenue Kansasville, WI 53139). Officers Joshua Martinson and Justin Brogni will be
instructing bike safety and doing safety checks of bikes and helmets. Officers Martinson and Brogni were bike
patrol officers for over 10 years each, combining for over 20 years of bike patrol experience. Both have taught
bike safety rodeos in the Milwaukee Public School system in the past. Officers Martinson and Brogni are both
Law Enforcement Bike Association (LEBA) certified.
Officer Martinson has also worked as a bike mechanic at Wheel and Sprocket in Hales Corners for the past 8
years. He will be using his bike stand and tools to do safety checks of bikes (brakes, shifting, tire pressure). No
parts for bikes will be available but Officer Martinson will be advising participants if there are major issues and
let participants know what work, if any, needs to be done to make the bike safe.
Officer Brogni will be doing proper fitting of helmets and will go over the rules of safe bike riding. He will also
review the rules of the road, including proper hand signals, associated with safe bike riding.
If time and weather allows, there will also be an obstacle course to show safe riding.
The target ages for this event are grades 1-8, however high school students and adults may also bring their bikes
by for a safety inspection. Adults and children should bring their own bikes and helmets as none will be provided
or available to use.
This event will run rain or shine.

Please RSVP with the Dover Town Office by June 20, 2018 at 262-878-2200.
