Different types of road bikes explained Just as their name suggests, road bikes are made to handle roads. They’re usually built with drop bars, flat pedals, disc brakes, and wide tires. Road bikes can be categorized into three main groups: Race-oriented –Professional cyclists often use thes...
This study proposes an urban Bikeability Index (BI) to assess and prioritise bicycle infrastructure investments, and in turn, improve accessibility for cyclists. The contribution of this paper is twofold. First, we construct a BI that addresses particularities of the roads in cities of the Global...
Anger toward cyclists exerted no effect on the probability of near misses with any road user (i.e., car drivers, cyclists or pedestrians), whereas anger toward the interactions with the police had a diminishing effect on the occurrence of near misses' involving all types of road users. The ...
Previous aerodynamic studies in cycling have focused on cyclists in different types of race or time trial positions, either isolated or followed by other cyclists, motorcycles or cars (e.g. Kyle and Burke, 1984, Dal Monte et al., 1987, Zdravkovich et al., 1996, Grappe et al., 1997, ...
Pedal-cyclists at roundabouts Roundabouts have a good overall safety record compared with other types of junction. However, these safety benefits do not apply to all classes of road use... LAYFIELD,E R.,MAYCOCK - 《Traffic Engineering & Control》 被引量: 21发表: 1986年 Problems and Issues ...
Even though I don't cycle, I know many people who do, and lots of cyclists wear some form of reflective clothing. But, do they provide enough protection? I think one of the best kinds of safety vests are those that are made from lightweight and breathable mesh. They're also good for...
of shorts rather than an elastic strapped garment that can dig into your skin and because there is no need for a genital pouch. Compression shorts are very common for runners, cyclists and basketball players among other activities. Compression shorts can also be found with an athletic cup for ...
Their results showed that a high-protein diet reduces the occurrence of URTI among elite cyclists [75]. Herbal supplements or complementary and alternative medicines can also be useful due to their unique medicinal properties. They also improve and enhance the athletes' immune system by adding ...
Meanwhile, running or jogging was associated with the lowest odds of dying from cancer, with a 19% reduction in risk of death from that cause. For cyclists, the reduction in risk for cancer mortality was 6%. SUGGESTED for you The researchers, from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), ...
It is concluded that currently intersections are not designed in a way that supports behaviour across the four forms of road user studied. Interventions designed to improve intersection safety are discussed. 展开 关键词: intersections road safety EAST systems analysis drivers cyclists motorcyclists ...
