Ocean City Intermediate School students recently joined the Ocean City Police Department and the Cross County Connection Transportation Management Association for another round of bicycle safety activities.
The event built on the success of September’s “Bike with a Cop” campaign, which included Ocean City police officers escorting students to school on bicycles.
Students practiced safe riding habits, reviewed key safety reminders, and heard about the importance of staying alert and visible while cycling through town.
Following is a photo gallery of the event:

Students who completed and submitted the pledge were entered into a drawing to win bike lights that were donated by community member George Bauer.
