Subject: State of the Field reviews?

Hello,

Short Question: Has anyone/is anyone about to publish a literature review describing the state of the field in Cycling research? This includes non-english publications.

Three reasons:
First: I'm just doing corrections for my thesis, which includes needing to write a bit more about the current state of Cycling in Social Scientific research. I suspect that I've missed some new papers whilst I was writing up and not having a chance to come to Cycling and Society symposium. Yes I will be doing an online literature search, but I thought I'd see if there is anything that is in online early view or pre-publication that it won't be easy to find.

Second: Interested in suggestions for papers in non-English languages that describe the state of cycling in research and practice, even if I can't actually read them.

(I have a second, related question, but I'll put it a different thread for tidyness)

Pete

Subject: Cycling and Society website

Did setting up a website get discussed last year at Cycling and Society or is something planned for discussion this year? Now that I've finally (almost) finished I'd be willing to coordinate the compiling of some content for a wordpress site. Not an attempt to write a canon, manifesto or reading list, more an attempt to give social science cycling research (and researchers) a google-able presence on the internet, with suggestions for how interested researchers/campaigners/journalists might contact someone relevant to their topic or locality. (Plus hyperlinks to past cycling and society or similar symposia.)

Dear Pete,

Yes, as a bicycle historian I have published a critical overview in Volume 5 of Mobility in History (2014):

Oosterhuis, Harry (2014). Bicycle Research between Bicycle Policies and Bicycle Culture. Mobility in History. The Yearbook of the International Association for the History of Transport, Traffic and Mobility, 5, 20-36.

I can send you a PDF; let me know.

I also have a much longer draft which has not yet been published. Recently I have also written a review-article about bicycle histories.

Best,
Harry Oosterhuis

Pete - here are a couple of recent  items on the impact of cycle training for children in the UK:

http://www.cls.ioe.ac.uk/shared/get-file.ashx?itemtype=document&id=1958 (see page 42)

http://www.nfer.ac.uk/about-nfer/media-and-events/nfer-research-finds-children-more-confident-about-cycling-and-better-able-to-perceive-and-respond-to-hazards-thanks-to-a-bikeability-training-programme.cfm

Harry - would it be possible for you to send me a PDF of your critical overview?

With all good wishes

Hi guys,
I was (am) one of the organising group of pedal on parliament, and set up the website for it. It's http://pedalonparliament.org/ and it's based on Wordpress - a really good idea - enabling really straightforward content management and a huge array of possibilities of presentation.

I did originally agree to help out with the CaS website and am glad to help in any way. However, I thought a quick mail would be in order to give you a heads-up in terms of costs.

If you're setting up on a domain you've bought you should budget £30 every two years for domain registry fees, and think of about £50-60 a year for hosting costs. If you get someone who's got a hosting account already, it would be fair to contribute at least £40 as one's share of it. Just I do remember the issue of hosting fees was something that was overlooked. Though small, they can mount up.

best,

alan

Hi all

just a quick response to the couple of posts about a C&S website.

Gabi and I have set up a website for this year’s conference www.cyclingandsociety.org<http://www.cyclingandsociety.org> and have discussed making this the website for C&S, rather than just this year’s website. Having the domain name www.cyclingandsociety.org<http://www.cyclingandsociety.org> is of course a start.

We haven’t done much with it apart from put details of this year, but we have started listing the previous sessions and pointing people to the email group. Ultimately it would be great to have all the previous presentation collected on here.
http://www.cyclingandsociety.org/?page_id=49

At the moment it’s in Wordpress, which is something I’ve got quite a bit of experience of so I just went ahead and set something up, and created a simple logo.

Good point re hosting fees. At the moment it’s hosted on some space I have anyway (which is fine to continue as long as it doesn’t get huge) and we bought the domain name for around £15 so it’s not too bad, but is obviously a budget issue.

Would be interested in speaking to people interested in being involved, particularly in collating previous stuff and turning the website into more of a general resource. And of course any viewpoints on making this the central C&S website.

cheers

Graeme

I've got one page to link  on community bike workshops - the first ever on this specific aspect I think - I am currently in the US and have been to Seattle, Portland , Chicago and Tucson; next month Brussels again, Ghent  and Paris, Berlin so it will grow soon, and there is a masters thesis coming too  http://bikeworkshopsresearch.wordpress.com
