Kids ages 5 and under can get in on the Bike Month fun! The Balance Bike Bash takes place in the Folsom Historic District starting at 9:30 a.m.; races start every 30 minutes through noon.

Kids race on balance bikes around a course with fun features including a bubble wrap “rock garden,” mini rumble strips, and a ride-through pool noodle wall.

Races will be held on the 700 Block of Sutter Street between Riley and Wool Streets (closed to traffic). Kids will do as many laps of the course as they can in 15 minutes. In between races, kids can ride the course as much as they want!

Registration for the balance bike races is FREE! Register online to reserve your spot; each race start is limited to 25 participants. Every racer receives a name plate for their bike and a sticker when they finish.

Racers must be age 5 or under on a balance bike only (no pedals). Helmets are required. A small fleet of demo Strider bikes and helmets will be available to borrow.
