What & How We Organize Our Activities
We would focus on organizing rides, some spotlight advocacy, and safety education as well as presenting at schools and communities. Working with other organizations to be part of their program such as after school programs, police-community outreach groups, or a health-based group would also be part of our plan. The club would provide members with information on new places to ride, a body of like-minded people to ride with, a source of answers to cycling (and life) questions, and a united front to help promote bicycling and safety. In the summer, we will host a youth bicycle summer camp for a week. The club would work with the schools to host a “bike to school” program and national bike week program. The club would incorporate some non-bicycle activities into the pitch and programs (i.e. "cycle for pizza," "cycle for ice cream," "cycle to a bakery", "cycle to the movies," "cycle to the fun center," or "cycle to a special park", “cycle to protect our earth”. Another thing we would do, is educate and market our club by inviting youth to join us by (i.e. "join the club to ride more often," "join the club for comradery," "join the club to see new places," "join the club to learn how to ride better," "join the club to share your knowledge and experience with others," etc.). In all, we would work with elementary, middle, and high schools to form a youth bicycle club in the school.
