Lesson Objectives:
Upon completion of this lesson students will be able to:
- Understand and can explain the importance of bicycle facility maintenance.
- Understand and can state in their own words the objectives of bicycle maintenance.
- Plan an implementation strategy to effect bicycle facility maintenance.
- List several types of typical maintenance problems, along with solutions to these problems.
Pre-Instruction:
|
Components |
Activities |
|
Motivation |
Show a few examples (e.g., slides, videotape) of poorly maintained bicycle facilities. Explain the types of problems bicycle riders might encounter because of the illustrated problems. |
|
Objectives |
Present and explain the four lesson goals listed above (V-21-1). |
Information Presentation:
|
Components |
Activities |
|
Information Sequence |
Outline the presentation of the lecture (V-21-2). |
|
Information |
Summarize the objectives of bicycle facility maintenance (V-21-3). Outline how to develop a maintenance implementation plan (V-21-4). Review examples of typical maintenance problems and solutions (V-21-5). |
|
Example(s) |
Associate the development of the maintenance implementation plan with your own experiences in developing engineering implementation plans. Show multiple examples (e.g., slides, videotape) of typical maintenance problems. |
Student Participation:
|
Components |
Activities |
|
Practice |
Divide the students into small groups and have them compile a list of bicycle facility maintenance problems specific to your area/location. Have the students propose solutions to the identified problems. |
|
Feedback |
Initiate a group discussion of the identified problems and solutions. Encourage all of the working groups to provide feedback to their peers. Provide comment and feedback to the class as appropriate. |
Follow-Up:
|
Components |
Activities |
|
Enrichment |
Assign reading for Lesson 22. Ask the students to compile a list of types of local bicycle parking facilities. |
