RIVERDALE -- Horns honked and bike bells rang as a group of children, parents and dogs waited on their bicycles for the road to clear.

They gathered for the Riverdale Pedals & Paws Children's Parade.

Some of the bikes had red, white and blue streamers woven through the spokes of the wheels. Many had balloons tied to the children's hands or directly to the bicycles.
