More info on each of the parts:
Pre-ride meeting (15-20 minutes)
This is the League’s opportunity to set expectations for the day and inspire the diverse group of stakeholders who may be in the same room together for the first time. Participants hear
a brief overview of the BFC program, an overview of the key components of a BFC and what the group will be examining on the ride. City staff and/or the League representative will provide
a description of what the group will see on the ride, impart any important safety notes and share when/where the ride will conclude. This group should be kept to fewer than 15 people,
if possible focusing on agency staff, decision makers, business representatives, key advocates and Trek retailers.
Bike Ride (90-120 minutes)
The ride and debriefing are designed to give the community focused, actionable feedback and raise awareness as to what is already in place for bicycling in the community. Participants
are given a guided tour of existing and planned bicycling infrastructure, as well as an opportunity to work through challenges and opportunities for improvements. League staff will
provide immediate feedback as to what will make the biggest difference on the tour in the debriefing discussion following the ride.
Post-ride debriefing and discussion (60-90 minutes) – Lead: League staff
The League will present the most important building blocks of Bicycle Friendly Communities, identify priorities for the community and how to take action. League staff will lead a discussion
with participants on these priorities and answer questions regarding these and other vital bicycle-friendly policies, programs and projects. Participants will be encouraged to take
responsibility for these action steps. League staff will follow up with a customized Report Card that lays out the bicycle-friendliness of the community and these key actions for improvement.
If stakeholders have limited availability on the day of the BFC visit and can only make one portion of the day, it is suggested that they prioritize the post-ride debriefing and discussion.
A quorum of city councilmember may be present which would constitute a meeting.
