Dear All,

New to this group and fairly new to academia. I finished my PhD in 2020 looking at the effectiveness of repairing and refurbishing bicycles on unpicking experiences of psychological trauma (i.e. 'recovery'). Thesis was summarised in this paper: https://doi.org/10.1111/1467-9566.13357. I work within 'actor-network theory' as an approach that precisely matches my sensibilities as a bike mechanic. 

I am now working on the Elevate project - https://blogs.brighton.ac.uk/elevate/ - as researcher, instructor and mechanic. I don't think this group is as active as Cycling and Society but it seems perhaps a better forum for the promotion of bicycles as therapeutic objects - in use (of course) but also as sites of contestation and co-operation, fettling, mess, spectra of 'working' or 'not working'-ness, ideation, and all sorts of other interesting things!
