The mention of his name or work is a catalyst for an apoplectic reaction from the hysterical members of the John Forester Effective Cycling™ Gang, a high recommendation indeed.
Thank you both, this is exactly the kind of stuff I was looking for.

As for the need for a "academic paper" on bikes? Seems a little trivial if you ask me. And I ride the things (bikes) all the time. You can over think simple subjects. So I maintain any school that would accept such a work as a serious effort is not worth a damn. Might explain the dearth of research materials the poster is seeking.
I'm glad that not having an education has worked out so well for you, and I salute whatever life accomplishments you feel you deserve recognition for. Now that you have received your validation, would you kindly remove yourself, and your belligerent attitude, from threads that you are only going to spend time polluting?
