Introduction to the Recommendations

The Banbury Working Group developed an initial set of 14 recommendations which describe specific ways The Principles are being, or have the potential to be acted upon.

• Recommendations have some intentional overlap since they can be implemented at different scales by different stakeholders.
• Recommendations are a starting place. We welcome additional viewpoints leading to the adoption, adaptation, and creation of additional recommendations in support of The Principles.

Recommendation Descriptive Features🚲

Every recommendation has six descriptive features:

• How might this work: Brief implementation example and suggestions on evaluating success.
• Related Principles: Most closely related Bicycle principles.
• Benefits to the learners: How recommendation helps learners (directly or indirectly).
• Incentives to Implementers: Motivations for implementers to enact this recommendation.
• Barriers to Implementation: Obstacles that may hinder this recommendation.
