I want to have a Bike Rodeo for a few of the classes (K-3) at the school my son and daughters attend but I am having a difficult time locating resources, specifically plans (course layouts), strategies and recommended activities. I have seen a lot of info on the internet but neither the school nor I can afford to have a group come in to present the program nor do I feel the need to become a "Certified Instructor" before I feel competent enough to teach kids about maintaining a bike, riding safe and obeying the laws.
So, with all that said, does anyone out there know of books (or other reference materials) that are affordable and from a Do-It-Yourself viewpoint that cover the concept of Bike Rodeos, especially as they pertain to children ages 5-9 (or so)?
Thanks, in advance, for any and all feedback!

PS: I have querried a couple "local" clubs. The problems with each club are twofold:
1) neither have a bona-fide program like I am after
2) I am not actually in the "jurisdiction" of either club
