Do you think this is a good idea?
Help me craft this program here....
First ... lose the negativity. Drop inappropriate language like "backslide" and "failure". Using a motorised vehicle is not a failure. It's a choice ... often the best choice for the job at hand. Using that kind of language is just going to turn people off.
Second ... build on "bike/walk to work" days. Your area has those, right? Most areas do. From what I've seen, they could be promoted a lot more. Get more businesses and workplaces involved. I think we had one of those days in my area just recently, but I'm not exactly sure when it was. It certainly wasn't promoted at all.
Use Google and look up "National Walk to Work Day" and "National Bike to Work Day". Look up "Bike Week".
