The Editor Launches A Frenzied Attack On His Keyboard A Sort Of Hors d’Oeuvre Not much new to report since the last issue, especially as the only event we’ve actually attended has been the European Championships. Missed Hayes because the weather was so horrible - went home to watch the British GP and the World Cup Final instead. Missed Lancaster due to being en route to the Europeans. Missed Kirby and The Lakes due to not having recovered from illnesses picked up while at the Europeans... Anyway, the Europeans were as much fun as usual, and you can’t read all about them in this issue, as there’s insufficient space available. I’ve discovered one thing, though, namely that riding a long distance to an event is not necessarily the best training for racing. Put another way, I didn’t go any faster... Of Boing, Bars And Bottles Following the decision by those eminently sensible chaps at the UCI to ban monocoque frames, further acts of idiocy have crossed my computer screen recently. Firstly, a couple of the US Postal Service team were told prior to this year’s Paris-Roubaix race that their bikes were illegal. Their crime? Having suspension... Next we read that those Cinelli bars with the sort of mini-tri-bar bit in the middle have also been banned. And the crowning glory; the makers of the Camelbak drinking system developed a soi- disant “aero” version for time-triallists. An independent test showed that the difference it made was negligible. However, this wasn’t good enough for the UCI, who have now banned all strap-to-your-back drinking systems, whether “aero” or not, from all road races and time trials. Next week, how pneumatic tyres give an unfair advantage... ...However... ... it seems that the UCI are not the only people around who want to stamp on innovation. A while back, the organisers of one of Sweden’s biggest mass cycle rides decided to ban recumbents, because, appar- ently, they are “dangerous”. In what manner they are “dangerous” was not specified. But, the event takes place on unclosed public roads, 300 km around the one of the largest lakes in Sweden. So the local recumbent enthusiasts decided that they would exercise their right to use the public highway... by riding round the same lake, at the same time, but in the opposite direction! Then there’s the Trondheim - Oslo saga. You may remember Gooner Fehlau’s article describing how Bram Moens set a new record for the event. Sadly, this seems to have had Repercussions: Time to Defend the Future of Recumbents Last year the leading endurance ride in Norway, the Great Trial of Strength, was won by Dutch recumbent rider Bram Moens. This year recumbents were banned. By Ernst Poulsen Only a handful of races are as tough as the Norwegian endurance event - The Great Trial of Strength. The distance is a staggering 540 km across the mountain range - or fjell - between Trondheim and Oslo. And just to make it a serious riders only-event, the time limit is 30 hours. Usually the ride attracts some 3000 cyclists - including the best riders in Norway, many foreigners, - and a handful of recumbent riders. For years none of this constituted a problem, until the Dutch HPV-rider 3 Bram Moens shattered all records, and won the 1997 event with a full one hours and 45 minutes in front of number two. But instead of celebrating Bram Moens as a winner, the organizers gave the first prize of $2000 to another rider - and to top it all off recumbents were banned in the 1998 event. “They simply ignored me, when I arrived”, explains Bram Moens, who later went back to Norway and used part of his vacation to speak to the organizers. This didn’t change the decision. Örn Ulf Pedersen from the event organization, admits that HPV’s never constituted a problem - earlier on. They were only a rarity. Bram Moens’ fast ride changed this: “This isn’t a competition - it’s an endurance event1", explains Örn Ulf Pedersen, who admits that the 1997 event did have a special “record group” which competed for prizes. Recumbents were allowed to sign up for this group, and the rules - which state that helmets must be worn, and that Triathlon handlebars are not allowed, did not state anything about recumbents. Apparently the organizers underestimated the speed of the recumbents. Only one or two minutes before the start, Bram Moens and the other recumbents were taken out of the record group, and were told to start 10 minutes later. This soon became a problem, when several of the recumbent riders had to overtake the entire record group soon after the start. At the finish line in Oslo, two of the recumbent riders finished way ahead of the rest of the pack. But the fact that recumbent suddenly proved to be much faster than the record group, also constitutued a problem. “The cost of police patrolling is also of importance. We pay 180000 Nkroner (20000 Euro), and it gets more expensive when some of the riders arrive that early, as the police have to follow them too”, Örn Ulf Pedersen explains. The organizers did get an early warning that recumbents would be faster than all other riders. Bram Moens participated in the 1991 event and was ahead of everyone else - until 50 km from the finish line, when a serious stomach ache took him out of the race. But according to Örn Ulf Pedersen, the organizers never realized this: “We only see the final results”. Despite the dispute this year - the door may not be entirely closed to recumbents in the future. “As we see it, recumbents may be back next year. We would of course like to see as many participants as possible”, explains Örn Ulf Pedersen, who hopes to meet with HPV-riders later this year. A Potentially Useful Gadget While golfing2 the ‘net recently, I came across a product called the “Shockster”. This is a device cunningly wrought to convert your boring old hardtail mountain bike into one with rear suspension. It attaches to your existing rear dropouts and cantilever bosses, and gives you of the order of 3.5” of suspension via a coil spring / oil damper arrangement. Ed Gin in Chicago has already fitted one to his Lightning SWB recumbent bike, and reports himself well-pleased with the result. As well as the canti bosses, you need some sort of rear triangle, so all you lot fantasising about putting one on your Kingcycle can stop right now. Ed has a detailed report on the fitting and performance of the thing on his Web page, at http:// www.mcs.net/~gkpsol/shockster.html, while the manufacturer’s site is at http://www.shockster.com/. I don’t know if it’s available in this country yet, but I’m sure that if you contact the makers, at [email protected], or BikeControl Inc, 9640 SW Sunshine Ct., Suite #700, Beaverton, OR 97005, USA, they’d be delighted to sell you one.

  • Attentional Focus and Motor Learning: a Review of 15 Years Gabriele Wulf*
    International Review of Sport and Exercise Psychology, 2013 Vol. 6, No. 1, 77Á104, http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/1750984X.2012.723728 Attentional focus and motor learning: a review of 15 years Gabriele Wulf* Department of Kinesiology and Nutrition Sciences, University of Nevada, Las Vegas, NV, USA (Received 12 April 2012; final version received 20 August 2012) Over the past 15 years, research on focus of attention has consistently demonstrated that an external focus (i.e., on the movement effect) enhances motor performance and learning relative to an internal focus (i.e., on body movements). This article provides a comprehensive review of the extant literature. Findings show that the performance and learning advantages through instruc- tions or feedback inducing an external focus extend across different types of tasks, skill levels, and age groups. Benefits are seen in movement effectiveness (e.g., accuracy, consistency, balance) as well as efficiency (e.g., muscular activity, force production, cardiovascular responses). Methodological issues that have arisen in the literature are discussed. Finally, our current understanding of the underlying mechanisms of the attentional focus effect is outlined, and directions for future research are suggested. Keywords: external focus; instructions; feedback; motor performance; movement effectiveness; movement efficiency Introduction A central question for any athlete or coach is: How can skill learning be facilitated, and how can performance be optimized? Those who are concerned with motor skill learning from a more theoretical perspective are interested in the same question, in addition to understanding the mechanisms that underlie the variables that influence performance and learning. The performer’s focus of attention has intrigued both practitioners and researchers as a potentially influential factor for a long time.

  • A Tale of Invention: the Birth of the Modern Bicycle
    ©JSR2012 A Tale of Invention A Tale of Invention: the birth of the modern bicycle John S. Reid Introduction This is a sequel to my piece on the Physics of Cycling, though perhaps it should be a prequel since in concerns the evolution of the bicycle itself in the 19th century. As I write this it’s near mid-winter, too cold or too wet or too windy for my fair-weather cycling habits. However with the poor weather has come the opportunity to browse the Scientific American pages over some 30 years leading up to the end of the 19th century. One of the subjects that has caught my attention is how the bicycle developed from its primitive mid-century form to something recognizably modern. The Scientific American was then quite parochial, concentrating on American inventions but reporting on events in Europe too. It was in fact a magazine more for technophiles than a prime source of science but 19th century America was a hot-bed of technical invention and the Scientific American survived by being up-with-the- times. The bicycle became very popular in Britain, France and other European countries as the century progressed but it did so in America too and by the end of the century American bikes were as good as any in the world. They would have said ‘better’. Sticking with the American based perspective gives a good flavour of the changes that were happening in other countries too. One of the fascinating aspects of my browsing was to see the variations on the bicycle theme that have failed the test of time or given rise to other devices we now don’t particularly associate with bicycles.
