Today I set out on a mission to get my best friend out on a bike on the streets of Sydney.
Some of the challenges I faced:
  • She has a fear of bike riding stemming from her childhood
  • She can't get on or off the bike easily
  • She doesn't know how to turn
  • Her fitness is not the best
  • She lives in Sydney City

Mission:
  • Get her riding on a street
  • Get her to enjoy herself
  • Get her to appreciate the freedom of riding v driving
  • Get her to appreciate the euphoric effect of riding
  • Get her to want to ride to work


Strategy:
  • Invite her out on to ride in Centennial Park (close to her house) for a picnic. 
  • Take her along some of the cycleways in her area
  • Teach her skills for braking, turning, getting confidence,


Success Measure:
  • Is able to turn without falling
  • Is able to stop without falling
  • Asks me to ride to work with her

Result
  • Success
