Students at the Chesterbrook academy in Sugar Grove have been learning all about being safe on their bikes and to put it all into practice the staff built a little course for them to ride through.
When I found out there would be a "trike wash" I knew that is were the most reactions would be from the kids.
The smiles kept getting bigger as the bikes got cleaner from multiple runs through the wash.
