Published: 15 June 2020 Abstract: The practice of road cycling is often associated with low levels of comfort for the cyclist and can be a physically painful experience on bad roads. Apart from cushioning in the saddle, applying handlebar tape, or reducing tyre pressure, a road bicycle offers in itself few options for comfort improvement, as it is primarily designed for performance, with emphasis on low mass and high stiffness. However, a range of components exist (e.g., suspension stems and seatposts) that can be fitted to a road bicycle, which can potentially improve comfort. In this context, the aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness of suspension stems in reducing the vibration transmitted to a cyclist’s hands in the case of impact loading. The results showed an important reduction in the vibrational energy transmitted to a cyclist’s hands with two commercially available suspension stems compared to a regular stem.

Since unreasonable human-bike relationship leads to both riders’ worn-out joints and muscle injuries, the design of bicycles should focus on the matching. In order to find the best position of human-bike system, simulation experiments on riding comfort under different riding postures are done with the lifemode software employed to facilitate the cycling process as well as to obtain the best position and the size function of it. With BP neural network and GA, analyzing simulation data, conducting regression analysis of parameters on different heights and bike frames, the equation of best position of human-bike system is gained at last. In addition, after selecting testers, customized bikes based on testers’ height dimensions are produced according to the size function. By analyzing and comparing the experimental data that are collected from testers when riding common bicycles and customized bicycles, it is concluded that customized bicycles are four times even six times as comfortable as common ones. The equation of best position of human-bike system is applied to improve bikes’ function, and the new direction on future design of bicycle frame parameters is presented.

  • Optimal Design of a Competition Bicycle for Comfort Riding (Focus on Bicycle Seat for Female)
    OPTIMAL DESIGN OF A COMPETITION BICYCLE FOR COMFORT RIDING (FOCUS ON BICYCLE SEAT FOR FEMALE) RADHIAH BT ABD RAZAK UNIVERSITI MALAYSIA PAHANG v ABSTRACT This thesis discuss on the comfort riding for female bicycle riders. Comfort when riding a bicycle can be identified through a number of key elements such as seats, handles, paddle and bicycle frame design. This study began by collecting all the relevant information to identify the height between bicycle seat and bicycle frame with height of rider, the suitable design of bicycle seat for female riders and the period of rider. The information is collected through a survey conducted on 30 female students with different height and weight. Experiment was conducted to gather the data required for this thesis. Three type of bicycle seat will be used in this experiment to identify the ergonomic design for female riders. Three level of height between bicycle seat and bicycle frame will be set to identify the suitable height for comfort riding which is 0 cm to 5 cm, 5 cm to 10 cm and 10 cm to 15 cm. To identify the most comfort period during riding, duration for riding will be set on 3 stages, 0 minutes to 5 minutes, 5 minutes to 10 minutes and 10 minutes to 15 minutes. It can be concluded that seat for female rider must be large compare to seat for male rider to support female pelvic muscles and also to avoid any injury on pelvic area. Height of seat must be adjusted to certain level to avoid pain on knees.

  • THE ROLE of a BIKE FIT in CYCLISTS with HIP PAIN. a CLINICAL COMMENTARY David J.S
    CLINICAL COMMENTARY THE ROLE OF A BIKE FIT IN CYCLISTS WITH HIP PAIN. A CLINICAL COMMENTARY David J.S. Wadsworth, B.Phty(Hons), MMSPhty1 Patrick Weinrauch, MBBS (Qld) MEng PhD DiMM FRACS FAOrthA2 IJSPT ABSTRACT Hip pathology is common amongst athletes and the general population. The mechanics of cycling have the potential to exacerbate symptomatic hip pathology and progress articular pathology in patients with mor- phologic risk factors such as femoroacetabular impingement. A professional fit of the bicycle to the indi- vidual which aims to optimize hip joint function can allow patients with hip pathology to exercise in comfort when alternative high impact exercise such as running may not be possible. Conversely improper fit of the bicycle can lead to hip symptoms in otherwise healthy individuals who present with risk factors for hip pain. Accordingly a bike fit can form part of the overall management strategy in a cyclist with hip symptoms. The purpose of this clinical commentary is to discuss hip pathomechanics with respect to cycling, bicycle fitting methodology and the options available to a physical therapist to optimize hip mechanics during the pedaling action. Key Words: bicycling, femoroacetabular impingement syndrome, hip, movement system, myofascial trig- ger points, osteoarthritis.
