Examining the effectiveness of bike fitting
Bini, R. R., Hume, P.Published in Sports Medicine (2025)“…A clear definition of bike fitting has not yet been agreed upon but the assumed process involves optimising posture and movement through changes in the bicycle and in the posture of the cyclist [2]. These changes can involve replacing components of the bicycle (e.g. saddle) or altering the position of the handlebar and saddle or the foot attachment to the pedals. …”

Sensitivity analysis of bicycle characteristics for pavement roughness monitoring by vibration data
Ghaderi, O., Cafiso, S., Caponnetto, R., Pappalardo, G.Published in Journal of Science and Cycling (2024)“…Vibration caused by lack of pavement maintenance affects the comfort, health and safety of cyclists and has been identified as one of the main infrastructural barriers to cycling. The focus of this paper is to investigate how the physical characteristics of bicycles affect the vibration response under different pavement conditions, and to explore the potential of crowdsourced collection with sensor-equipped bicycles to collect data for road condition and comfort assessment of micro-mobility users. …”

On the effects of tube butting on the structural performance of steel bicycle frames
Covill, D., Drouet, J.-M.Published in Proceedings (2018)“…Previous studies have shown how finite element analysis (FEA) can be used to support designers and frame builders in the selection of butted tubes to tune the stiffness and strength behaviour of steel bicycles. The aim of this paper was therefore to analyse the effects of tube butting on the stiffness, stress distribution and energy absorption behaviour of bicycle frames using numerical simulations. …”
