In the meantime, we’re working to create an “Idea Book” that will highlight bicycle events in communities across the country that get people on bikes and have other community-driven goals of building support for projects, use of specific trail or bike lane, highlight less than ideal situations for cycling, or target particular populations for increased use of bicycling. I know from experience that community bike programs play a large role in many communities in hosting and leading these events and thought that I could pick your brain and ask what you’re doing in your community.

The purpose of the "Idea Book” is to act as a guide for advocacy groups, riding clubs, government agencies and anyone else who want to get more people on bikes. It will feature a list of event types for potential organizers to choose from, as well as descriptions about how those events play into key advocacy strategies
for cities and decision-makers.

We'd be grateful if you could share the survey link with anyone you know is running a successful bike event or complete the survey yourself for anything you’ve been a part of. The best examples from around the country will be featured in the upcoming idea book.
