The Experiences of Women Competitive Road Cyclists: a Qualitative Study THE EXPERIENCES OF WOMEN COMPETITIVE ROAD CYCLISTS: A QUALITATIVE STUDY A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS IN THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE TEXAS WOMAN’S UNIVERSITY DEPARTMENT OF PSYCHOLOGY AND PHILOSOPHY COLLEGE OF ARTS AND SCIENCES BY ANNA MARIA DELLANEBBIA, B.A. DENTON, TEXAS MAY 2020 Copyright © 2020 by Annamaria DellaNebbia ABSTRACT ANNAMARIA DELLANEBBIA THE EXPERIENCES OF WOMEN COMPETITIVE ROAD CYCLISTS: A QUALITATIVE STUDY MAY 2020 Cycling has been recognized in scientific research for numerous benefits to well- being. The benefits to cycling are clear, but barriers are present for women who wish to participate in the sport. While there have been substantial gains in understanding aspects of cycling, there remains a lack of in-depth phenomenological descriptions from a woman’s perspective, as the sport is dominated by men. This study explored the lived experiences of 8-12 women competitive road cyclists in relation to their thoughts, feelings, and actions. This inquiry used interpretive phenomenological analysis of semi- structured interviews. The analysis revealed several themes, including sexist attitudes and behaviors, gendered barriers such as size, interpersonal dynamics between cyclists, and inclusive transitions for women competitive road cyclists. These findings suggest that cycling may be a microcosm for broader societal trends, and implications for reducing gendered cycling barriers, promoting women cyclists, and creating an inclusive road cycling community are discussed. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS Page ABSTRACT ................................................................................................................. ii LIST OF TABLES ..................................................................................................... vii Chapter I.

  • Cycling: Supporting Economic Growth in Canada
    Cycling: Supporting Economic Growth in Canada Prepared by Vélo Canada Bikes for the House of Commons Standing Committee on Finance pre-budget consultations Submitted August 3rd, 2018 1 Investing in cycling and active transportation: Supporting economic growth in Canada Recommendations for the Government of Canada In collaboration with provincial and territorial governments, the Federation of Canadian Municipalities, the Assembly of First Nations and additional stakeholders, implement the following recommendations: Recommendation #1: Develop a funding stream designed to rapidly increase the development and improvement of active transportation infrastructure and related traffic calming in all Canadian municipalities and in rural areas. Recommendation #2: Establish a national-level forum to consult, share, and develop a plan for moving more people and goods by bicycle in a wide variety of Canadian settings including urban, rural and remote communities. Recommendation #3: Direct Statistics Canada to collect data that will ensure the adequate and appropriate monitoring and reporting of the prevalence, potential and safety of cycling in Canadian municipalities. Use this data to set achievable evidence-based five- and ten-year transportation mode share targets for cycling. 2 Investment in bicycling represents a vastly underexploited opportunity for economic growth in Canada. If more Canadians were able to safely use a bicycle for daily transportation, there would be significant economic benefits including: a boost to economic productivity from a healthier and more productive workforce; improved mobility and personal savings for Canadians; disadvantaged groups could more easily gain skills and access employment opportunities and there would be an increase in business and tourism revenues. Increased cycling would also help to counter the negative economic costs that motorized vehicles impose on society in the form of congestion; road casualties; physical inactivity and poor health; pollution; and the political and environmental costs of maintaining fossil fuel supplies.

  • CX Equipment FAQ – 2019 Page 1
    Cyclocross Equipment and Regulations FAQ We publish eligibility and equipment rules for all of our National Championships on our website on the National Championship Page. Even with this published information, many of our members still call with concerns and questions about what’s legal, universally falling victim to, “someone told me”. So, here’s the 411 for cyclocross equipment: WHY In order to understand the regulations that apply to your event, please appreciate that USA Cycling and the International Cycling Union (UCI) have regulations related to cyclo-cross racing. Isn’t a bicycle a bicycle? For USA Cycling, the answer is yes, but with a few details. For the UCI, they have a robust set of regulations that, for the most part, are to make sure that what everyone understands as a bicycle, used in competition, still looks enough like a bicycle that 95% of the people in the world would recognize it. For most local events, the requirements are very basic. Because of the popularity of cyclocross(CX) in the United States, it has quickly become one of the few disciplines in our sport to truly “go international”. As many events became part of the UCI’s international calendar, suddenly, there were more rules and regulations to pay attention to. Although the principals are really the same, the details matter. Bike design, bike equipment, and tires especially, become areas of misinformation. WHAT-Regulations USA Cycling has extremely generous bicycle regulations. If it’s a pretty standard bicycle, you are welcome to race it in our events. These regulations are found in Chapter 1, specifically starting in 1I (that’s one-i).

  • Injuries Involving Off-Road Cycling
    o RIGINAL RESEARCH_______________________________ Injuries Involving Off-road Cycling Frederick P. Rivara, MD, MPH; Diane C. Thompson, MS; Robert S. Thompson, MD; and Viviana Rebolledo Seattle, Washington BACKGROUND. Data on injuries due to off-road bicycling are scarce, but do indicate that injuries in this sport are frequent. We examined the pattern of injuries to off-road riders as part of a larger study of bicycle injuries and helmet use. METHODS. We undertook a prospective study of bicycle-related injuries identified at seven emergency depart­ ments in Seattle, Washington, between March 1992 and August 1994. Hospitalized patients and medical examin­ ers’ cases were included. Detailed questionnaires and abstraction of all medical records provided information on crash and rider characteristics and injury type and severity. RESULTS. A total of 3390 injured riders participated, representing an 88% response rate. Of all injured cyclists, 127 (3.7%) were injured riding “off road.” Seventy-three percent of off-road cyclists were 20 to 39 years of age, and 86.6% were male. Helmet use was 80.3% for off-road cyclists as compared with 49.5% for other cyclists. The number of head and face injuries for the off-road cyclists was only 40% of the number incurred by other cyclists. Four percent of off-road cyclists had severe injuries (Injury Severity Score >8), and 6.3% were hospital­ ized, compared with 6.8% and 9.4%, respectively, of other cyclists. CONCLUSIONS. The majority of off-road bicycling injuries are minor. Off-road cyclists are less likely to have head and face injuries than other cyclists and are more likely to wear helmets.
