What is the research about?

The aim of this research is to explore information-sharing, via the internet, amongst people who are either already cycling, or considering cycling, to three neighbouring organisations: UWE Frenchay Campus, the MoD at Abbey Wood or HP Labs Bristol.

What will it involve?

You will be invited to share cycling routes and other information with one another using a specially designed, secure section of this website. The research runs over a period of 6 weeks, starting on 8 June 2009, but should only take a few minutes of your time every day or so (whenever convenient for you).

You could mark your favourite cycling route/s on the interactive map, post comments or photographs, and ask questions about local cycling matters. At the end of the six weeks you will be invited to a face-to-face interview to discuss your experiences of taking part in the research.

If you decide to participate in the project, you will be invited to attend a briefing during the week starting 25 May.

How do I register my interest?

Please fill out and submit the short registration questionnaire

These questions are intended to help us recruit a cross-section of people with different levels of cycling experience. The information you provide will be kept confidential, and will only be used for recruitment purposes.
