What can WE BIKE do for your community? Let’s take a look!
Engineering
Motorists, pedestrians and bicyclists are dependent on
community transportation systems for mobility and access.
WE BIKE is experienced in incorporating the unique wants
and needs of pedestrians and bicyclists for both recreation
and transportation.
From trail design and assessments to sidewalks and on-
road/off-road bicycle facility recommendations, WE BIKE’s
Planning and Engineering Services will help integrate
walking and bicycling for a safer and more sustainable
community.
Pedestrian & Bicyclist Needs & Facilities Assessments (WB)
WE BIKE has the ability to assess the specific needs of pedestrians and
bicyclists in a community. WE BIKE’s professional assessment allows for
the creation of recommendations for improving conditions for
pedestrians and bicyclists which will be safe, cost effective and
implementable within a reasonable timeframe.

Education
Education is a powerful tool for increasing knowledge,
improving skills and changing behavior. Through
pedestrian, bicycle and motorist education, residents learn
to share the road and gain confidence to commute to
work and school, run errands and be active for enjoyment.
Create a healthier, more livable community with
education services like public service announcements,
targeted education programs and outreach from WE BIKE.

League Cycling Instructor Seminar (LAB)
The LCI training seminar focuses on teaching and demonstration

classroom. The seminar emphasis is on how to teach bicycle safety and
skills so as to provide increased comfort and confidence for new and
returning bicyclists and youth. The Seminar does not emphasize the
content or specific details of the cycling course curricula. It is primarily
about teaching, and each candidate will have opportunities during the
seminar to practice facilitating parts of the Traffic Skills 101 curriculum,
both in the classroom and in the parking lot. The seminar is normally
one evening and two full days. Generally, 1/3 of the time is on-bike, so
students should be prepared to ride.

Walking Safety (WB)
WE BIKE provides classroom and hands-on pedestrian safety instruction
to all ages and abilities of children.
Bicycling Safety (WB)
WE BIKE provides classroom and hands-on bicycle safety instruction to

Kids Bike Club (WB/WisDOT)

The majority of pedestrian and bicyclist fatalities involve a motor vehicle.
For this reason, WE BIKE has developed training specifically for motorists
to help them identify and avoid, common mistakes that pedestrians,
bicyclists and motorists make in traffic that lead to crashes.
Enforcement
Law enforcement officers don’t enforce laws that they
don’t know and they don’t enforce laws that they can’t
defend – yet they are the only ones who enforce laws - for
pedestrians, bicyclists and motorists to improve safety.
Officers come in contact with pedestrians, bicyclists and
motorists on a daily basis, resulting in a unique position to
assist with and add credibility to community efforts to
encourage walking and bicycling, improving safety.
Are your officers prepared to enforce for pedestrian and
bicycle safety?

Enforcement (WB)
WE BIKE, etc., LLC has developed a law enforcement training model with
essential pedestrian and bicycle safety educational materials and multi-
faceted training through a planned succession of information, from basic
to in-depth knowledge. This manner of delivery and level of content is
the Continuum of Training in Pedestrian & Bicycle Safety for Law
Enforcement.
The Continuum of Training includes multiple types of media – written,
video, interactive computer-based training and personalized classroom
instruction to appeal to a broad cross section of officers with different
learning styles. It consists of the following tools:
1. “Enforcement for Pedestrian & Bicycle Safety” brochure
2. National and local pedestrian & bicycle safety materials
3. Pedestrian & bicycle safety videos to be shown at roll call
4. Computer-based pedestrian & bicycle safety training
5. Instructor-led two-day Pedestrian & Bicycle Safety for Law
Enforcement course
6. Community enforcement exercise

Enforcement for Pedestrian & Bicycle Safety (WB/RPC/WFMNC)
This course is based on the Wisconsin Pedestrian & Bicycle Law
Enforcement Training course. It is designed to give law enforcement
officers the basic pedestrian and bicycle safety information they need to
manage traffic and provide a safe walking and bicycling environment in
their communities. After completing this course officers will have the
knowledge necessary to enforce laws which, when enforced properly, will
prevent the majority of pedestrian and bicycle-motor vehicle crashes
from occurring. They will also have a better understanding of how
pedestrians and bicyclists fit into the total transportation system.
