Thanks – good stuff to point out.

I’ll also talk up CaBi.

You could always enlist the services of professionals to do it. WABA does that soft of thing every week.

I would recommend having an Advocate from WABA or LAB come into your office. There’s no need to re-create the wheel and you should be wary of giving out bad information when it comes to safety, etc.

Who’s the right contact over there for this? We’re making a push for BTWD at the office and were planning on having an informal Q&A hosted by the regular cyclists in early May-ish.

You could try Nelle or Megan. Pete (aka Dirt) should know as well since he’s an Ambassador.

Call WABA and ask for Daniel Hoagland. He is the Education Director. Either he can do it or assign someone else from staff. Thanks.

Nelle and Megan are the ones that usually handle them. Dan does them too.

Thanks, but this is a pretty casual thing – I don’t mind taking one for the team.

I think I’ve got it covered, thanks. I’ll start by explaining that helmets are for dweebs, then move on to the fine art of body-checking during your pass, then explain that traffic rules are for “other people”, and cap it off with an explanation of the hazards blinky lights and reflective clothes pose to local air traffic. :rolleyes:
