Individual Conference Presentation 4

Due to many controversial topics, I switched my topic from helmet regulations in the US to the overall bike infrastructure in the US. I went on explaining how I could compare it to other successful bike culture like Copenhagen or London. I as well found many comparable statistics of Copenhagen to the United States bike infrastructure. The point of my presentation is to bring more awareness of how these other countries have such successful bike cultures and how we could learn from them to build a strong bike community. Being that this is an advocacy and activism presentation, I’ll be advocating how we need to improve on bicycle safety on the road, as the US has one of the highest bike to car collisions in the world. As of now the quick solutions we have come up with are to wear a helmet and painting white lines creating an imaginary barrier to protect you from flowing traffic. In the long run, improving the bike infrastructure is the best the way to prevent further accidents.
