Hi Kevin, Rachel Aldred did some nice research on stigmatisation of cyclists which might be the sort of thing you might find useful. You might also be aware of the somewhat self-selected data of the more problematic encounters between cyclists and motorists recorded by helmet-cam. There are many examples of the helmet cam approach on You Tube. The important thing is that the particular encounters that are uploaded are usually problematic ones. But as long as you take this bias in sampling, you get an idea of what problematic encounters look like. :-) There have also been some nice press articles by Lesley Riddoch on the experience of cycling from a non-hardened cyclist's point of view in the Herald (scottish newspaper) They were referenced in our campaign's website, www.pedalonparliament.org best, alan munro On 10 Feb 2014, at 21:44, Kevin Ablitt wrote: > Hello > I am a non-academic looking for information because of my involvement in cycling advocacy. > I wonder if anyone knows of any research into the topic I have put in the subject of this email ? > Any recommendations gratefully received. > Best wishes > Kevin . > > > -- > In November 2013 Noelle and Kevin cycled from George to CapeTown in South Africa, > through the Karoo desert, over 4 mountain passes to raise awareness and funds for the Bicycling Empowerment Network South Africa. > > Please visit our new Just Giving page at http://www.justgiving.com/karoochallenge to donate. > We needed to raise a minimum of 4000£ ( 40000 R) to pay for the transport of a container load of bikes and bits from www.re-cycle.org to help kick start the project.
