• Attend a program after school or in the evening (i.e., after school program, Scout meetings, etc.) to talk about bike safety and plug the Ride.
• Read the 8 Rules of Safety over the loud speaker during morning announcements.
• Write a letter to the class/school thanking them for their support, tell them how training is going, explain what the training rides are like, tell them why you are participating in the ride, etc.
