How to start a bicycle club

How to start a bicycle club:
One way to get yourself and other cycling more often is to form a bike club – having others to help plan the rides and peer pressure both help to get people out on to the roads. Bicycle clubs provide members information on new places to ride, a body of like-minded people to ride with, a source of answers to cycling (and life) questions and a united front to help promote bicycling. There are no rules or magic wand for starting a bike club. Forming a club is often an effort in community organizing, and community organizing is a effort in educating / marketing (i.e. "join the club to ride more often," "join the club for comradery," "join the club to see new places," "join the club to learn how to ride better," "join the club to share your knowledge and experience with others," etc.)
