One of the possible resolutions, is to get more people out on a bicycle.

I am looking for some help in how to promote this idea. Facts to backup positions are wonderful, as I need to site a minimum of 3 sources for the speech as well. And as I said, the goal is a persuasive speech, so I want to persuade the class that bicycling is a good thing for them to do, and show them how to do it and why.

Before you ask why is this in A&S, it is because I believe it to be a good advocacy point, since I have to try and persuade people on it. Just wanted to clarify that.
I took speech in college. So I know what you are having to do.

Is the professor/instructor making the class do the persuasive speech first, or did you do the informative speech first?

Do research on how gasoline emissions are damaging the ozone layer. How commuting by bike helps save the environment and that, when commuting by bike a person is also getting an aerobic workout.
