Abstract. Cycling practice has been constantly increasing for several years and the COVID crisis just accelerated process. Indeed, more municipalities have developed new cycle paths to facilitate cycling. Considering this interest cycling, it makes sense study how recent evolution is reflected in underlying representation of cycling network geographic databases. Main studies analysing road focu...

This paper examines infrastructure preferences for cyclists. In Ireland, the Irish National Cycle Policy Framework acknowledges that investment in cycling infrastructure type and quality has been ‘in many cases, inadequate’ and has, generally, not led to an overall increase in cycling numbers. Therefore, in order to ensure future investment is targeted where it is likely to be most ...

Objective—To assess injury prevention measures used by cyclists in Oxford and to detect any diVerences between wearers and non-wearers of cycling helmets. Method—A prospective observational survey of a series of cyclists passing a single point on a busy city road in reduced lighting. Two observers jointly recorded four measures of injury prevention: use of front or rear light, high visibility (...

Exercise was the most common activity reported during recent sunburns in US adults. Cycling, an increasingly popular sport, includes long periods of sun exposure. This cross-sectional survey aimed to examine sun-protective behaviors and beliefs related tan skin within context cycling tans a population road cyclists Atlanta. 57 recreational competitive Atlanta Peloton “ATLPLN” group participated...

Due to geometrical errors and possible misalignment of the sensors, wheel speed measurements provided by incremental encoders in road vehicles are usually affected by significant periodic noises. This paper presents an online wheel speed filtering procedure, based on a model of the sensor, aimed at processing the speed measurement to make it suitable for advanced vehicle dynamics applications. ...

The cases of two brothers training and competing as master cyclists and both preparing for a cycling tour are presented. The older brother aged 66 years went first to the primary care physician and presented with an asymptomatic depression in the exercise stress test of the ST segment in V5 and V6 during recovery after complete exhaustion. Coronary angiography revealed a multi vessel coronary a...

The time trial (TT) or downhill (DH) position (Figure 1) in cycling, which is different from general riding form, is used in time trial road races or triathlons to decrease air resistance and achieve faster speeds. In the TT or DH position, the rider’s neck is extended and his or her body is strained while racing, and some athletes develop neck pain or headache. Most cases of neck pain may be c...

The problems related to the means of transport in urban Brazilians have been getting worse over the years. The increase of the fleet, to the detriment of the adequacy and extent of the road network of cities contributes to this fact. This paper presents a profile of users of cycling in the city of Juiz de Fora, and thus contributes to the study of sustainable urban mobility, providing researche...

Functional electrical stimulation (FES) provides a good possibility to activate paralysed muscles and it has been shown to elicit substantial physiological and health benefits. For successful application of FES, a perfect symbiosis of the bike and the pilot has to be achieved. The road to the Cybathlon 2016 describes the different pieces needed for FES cycling in spinal cord injury. The systema...
