Which side of the ride to ride on, what to remember before leaving a driveway and the importance of wearing a helmet were among the topics covered during a May 31 bicycle rodeo at Quqshuun Ilihakvik School in Gjoa Haven. The students, with instruction from RCMP Const. Peter Phillips, then took to an obstacle course set up in the school's gym to demonstrate their ability to follow safe practices.
