If you are doing a presentation of this material, the following guidance may be useful:

Build an Audience
Invite a broad cross section of interested people, not just traditional bicycling advocates. Road builders, health organizations, livable community groups, developers, traffic safety committee members and many others are interested in these topics and will want to participate.

Don't Reinvent the Wheel
As you will see in the materials included in this CD, there is a lot of good material for your projects and programs--including agendas, graphics, video's and photos. Don't feel that you have to create a new presentation in order to be successful.

Connect with Local Issues
Unfortunately, our communities are not immune to accidents and tragedies involving cyclists and pedestrians. One way of helping your community, beyone anger and frustration, is by scheduling presentations that provide safety solutions for communities.

Work with the Media
The human interest angle of promoting healthy and safe communities often make a good news story. The media can help communicate your message to a wide audience through cable access TV, radio and print. Most newspapers and community websites offer free listing of community events.

Involve the Audience
This program offers several ways at getting the audience involved. ASk all participants to introduce themselves and have them state their reason for involvement.

Make it Fun
Each of the workshops presented this year included a healthy food break and a chance for people to get out and walk or bike with other participants. This adds to the experience of learning new ideas and working together with new partners.
