For example, the Group may lobby the employer or local authority to -

  • install shower facilities in places of work
  • install bicycle parking facilities
  • encourage motorists to respect cyclists
  • construct bicycle paths and on-road bike lanes
  • reduce speed limits on local roads or otherwise improve local roads for cyclists

The Group may encourage other members of the organisation or area to take up cycling. They may make special arrangements to assist new cyclists, such as -

  • offering education and advice
  • organizing group commuting bicycle buses
  • a program of rides push on
  • preparing maps of good routes.Bikely
