Advocacy & Safety - Cyclist Health and Injury Study

Bikeforums.net is a forum about nothing but bikes. Our community can help you find information about hard-to-find and localized information like bicycle tours, specialties like where in your area to have your recumbent bike serviced, or what are the best bicycle tires and seats for the activities you use your bike for.

Brown University Medical School, and Rhode Island Hospital, are conducting a study into cyclist health and injury rate. The study will examine:


General demographics of cycling, including experience on a bike, how often ridden and for what purpose (i.e., utilitarian, leisure or sport)

General health of the cyclist and how this is affected by their cycling

The types of injuries sustained while cycling, contributing factors and outcome


You can participate in this research project by taking a simple 5-10 minute survey...here's the link:

Just for clarification...it's not my survey. I'm just passing this info on as a public service to the cycling community, and encouraging others to participate.
