Hasti's Project Update

I am developing both digital and physical methods of portraying information about bicycle safety and etiquette. I've been working on designs in Adobe Illustrator with practical bicycling tips.
The resources will include information about:
  • ABC bike checklist
  • Turning signals
  • How to put a bike on a bus
  • Accident statistics (some examples: in 2008, 2 killed, 18 severe injuries, 112 sustained visible injuries, 57 complained of pain; 79% of the crashes involved a car; of these: 43% cyclist was found at fault 37% driver was found at fault)
  • Safety gear
  • Bike Routes 
  • Night riding 

In addition to the promotional campaign, I am also working on community outreach for People Power. We are planning to reach out to local groups to build a bicycle network. This will involve contacting community members and attending events.

I am meeting with Amelia Conlen, The Director of People Power, this Friday afternoon to discuss several upcoming local bike-related events that would be prime communities to reach out to about the workshops and events People Power offers.
