Hello from Rhode Island. I just wanted to get as many opinions, help, and advice on the fliers and how we communicate with bicyclists.<div><br></div><div>Here is the history of my fliers:</div><div><br></div><div>I made a Critical Mass flier, but noticed many people did not support critical mass in my state. so after a couple of months, I made another flier based on "community bike ride/bicycle awareness ride." I also put together a rough draft of our h'ween ride coming up.</div>
<div><br></div><div>**We usually only get about, on average, 15-20 people on our rides. I don't know why, I passed out fliers 3-4 times a month, on different days, usually passing out 1000 fliers to 1000 different bikes total a month**</div>
<div><br></div><div>So how do we get more people on our rides? Any advice? And any tips on our fliers or anything we should change? </div><div><br></div><div>Note: Attached documents are:</div><div><br></div><div>'Critical mass.doc application/msword', the first flier I made, and noticed a lot of opposition because people think critical mass is bad. Many messengers, and bike shops dislike critical mass. </div>
<div><br></div><div>'CM flier (h'ween).doc application/msword', This is a rough draft of our h'ween ride.</div><div><br></div><div>'cm page flier.doc application/msword', is the one I made after our Critical Mass flier got a lot of opposition. I tried to make it suitable for everyone. but I think I kind of lost the critical mass meaning in it. </div>
<div><br></div><div>Any advice on our fliers, or any advice on how we can better communicate with cyclists, commuters, messengers, and bike shops is greatly appreciated!!!!</div><div><br></div><div>-Victor Martelle</div><div>
