• Carry out a survey of the present cycling situation. Find somebody with skill and competence to organise this survey.
  • Use existing methods. This approach saves both time and money and gives you the opportunity to compare your findings with others.
  • Address as many people as possible. Pass the questions on to those people who are working with these issues (politicians, traffic planners, engineers, tourist experts, police etc.) Let them deal with cycling questions and find answers, especially if they are not used to this subject.
  • On the basis of this survey, define your goals. Discuss them with all people and institutions needed to reach them. Be ambitious but realistic.
  • Define the route and every single step leading to your goal. Let results motivate all people involved.
  • Have a schedule and a plan to screen your progress.
  • Find more inspiration in the chapter about cycling policy and strategy.
