#Bike4Cayden

We are currently looking for Event Sponsors and Volunteers. Learn more HERE.

Unintentional deaths including motor vehicle accidents and head trauma continue to be the number one cause of death for children in Montana and across the United States, according to America’s Health Ranking National Report by the United Health Foundation. Notably, children are more likely to take risks that may lead to injury, especially as they are learning to become more independent.

Learning to ride a bike is a milestone of childhood. A milestone that can come with risks. According to Safe Kids Worldwide, an average of 630 children are injured each day in bicycle-related crashes.

In July 2019, the Park County community lost 11-year-old, Cayden James Leonard, when he was struck by a vehicle while riding his bike. The loss of Cayden makes the conversation of bike safety for both children and drivers more important than ever in the Livingston community and throughout Montana.

In Cayden’s memory, Cayden’s family, and Child Care Connections plan to hold a bike safety event in Livingston in July of 2021. This event will engage local children and adults of the community bringing awareness to the importance of bike and vehicle safety, especially when it comes to children.

This event will be held July 14, 2021 from 4:30 – 7:30 pm during the Livingston Farmers’ Market and will offer a variety of fun and educational activities for children and adults. There will be drawings for bikes, free bike helmets and fittings, an obstacle course and more! Resources and education will also be provided to adults on bike safety for drivers.

Please contact Kami Ryles at kami@cccmontana.org or see below to become a volunteer.
