The bike rodeo will include a bike safety check, safety stations, helmet fittings and a raffle. Participants are invited to ride through a bicycle obstacle course. Safety stations will provide information on proper hand signals, situational awareness and more. Participants should bring a bike and bike helmet and wear closed-toe shoes. The Batavia Bicycle Commission and Cykel Cycles bike shop are lending a helping hand.

For more than 10 years, glancing at The Limited women s clothing store window display in the now empty Charlestowne Mall in St. Charles provided me with ideas for holiday and birthday gifts for my wife.
Granted, the store had a captive audience because I was ringing the bell for Salvation Army during the holiday season, and the kettle was located right outside The Limited.
It might have been the only way to truly lure a man into gazing at clothing, but it illustrated the effectiveness of a good window display.
A month before the pandemic hit in 2020, I was working on a piece for this column about how area retailers still use their storefront window displays as a key element to their business.
