The next step in the bike project was assigned today. 

Lesson 3: A Bicycle Story

In order to learn more about cycling from another time or place, you will be interviewing someone. The goal of the interview is to gather information about the everyday role of bicycles in another time or place, to explore how things are different here and now, and to identify any challenges your interviewee might have with riding. Your interview can be audio or video. However, we would prefer a video interview. For the interview requirements, click here.
