My goodness.

I could see how it's possible cycling may have been passed over in legislation (Fiji has only been independent for 35 years and there have been a few coups) but Fiji was also a British Colony and the British are pretty organized. I'm sure they had policys and guidelies about managing traffic laws that would include bicycles. The bicycle has had a long tradition of use in the UK, and I'm sure they have been used in the same tradition in their colonys.

You also are asking for a pretty huge amount of information to present in 4 days and have no experience in cycling advocacy or legislation. That's quite an order. I guess you can just put in your 2 cents worth and hope someone qualified and prepared will make a good presentation.

I'd be asking qualified individuals from national bicycle advocacy organizations from around the world for advice. Not just a message board.

It might be good to know that bicycles are the reason most of our right-of-way rules exist. Cyclists were granted the right to use the roadways before the automobile was invented and are recognized as having those rights in every country of the world. Second on the scene, the first automobiles were confined to these roads and rules. Cyclists fare best when they act and are treated as operators of vehicles.

Good luck.

edit - I have a few friends at work that lived in Fiji and fequently return for visits, so I called one of them and asked about the helmet point ( a single sentence in the regulations which says "cyclists must wear a helmet")

He said, no one wears a bike helmet in Fiji. He has never seen someone wear one. That's not to suggest there isn't some regulation somewhere that says what you posted, it's just strange that that would be the only regulation set out and no one follows it.

I also checked out my provincial motor vehicle act and looked at how simple the concept of including bicycles in an act may be. One sentence says,
