You can get a free bicycle helmet and learn about bicycle safety at the Barton County Fair Saturday morning.&nbsp;The Family Fun Bike Ride is scheduled from 8 a.m. to 9 a.m. at the Expo grounds west of Great Bend.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Participants will be divided into age groups and stations will be set up for&nbsp;age-appropriate&nbsp;activities. Everyone can participate in an obstacle course,&nbsp;learn about hand signals and how to decorate their bike.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Great Bend Police Chief Steven Haulmark&nbsp;will&nbsp;help register up to 40 bicycles&nbsp;during the event.&nbsp;Having a bicycle registration&nbsp;helps&nbsp;you&nbsp;identify your bike if it is ever stolen.&nbsp;Todd Van Skike from Golden Belt Bicycle will help with minor adjustments including safety checks. He will also provide a few Strider bikes for small children to try out.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Members of the Pilot Club will distribute&nbsp;the free&nbsp;helmets on a first-come, first-serve basis. They will&nbsp;also&nbsp;help&nbsp;properly fit the helmets on each&nbsp;participant.&nbsp;&nbsp;

The&nbsp;event&nbsp;is jointly sponsored by the Cottonwood Extension District, the Barton County Fair&nbsp;Association,&nbsp;the Pilot Club and the Be Well Barton County Task Force.&nbsp;
