class activity 20

The identified problem in the proposal in class activity 20 is the high rate of serious injuries and deaths do to head trauma from bicycling.

The author researches out of books. He also conducts a phone interview with a representative from the Transport Anystate Traffic Collision Statistics. The author also accesses information online.

I am convinced that there is a problem for several reasons. First, the author gives all of his resources. Each resource is pretty legit and is knowledgeable of the topic. Second, the author states his qualifications in research and then announces that he is a member of the local bike riding group. This information lets the reader know that he sees stuff happen first hand. Third, he gives a chart of head injuries each year. This information helps put the issue in perspective for the reader. Finally, he gives three examples of real life cases of head injuries linked to bike riding.
