PhD research project on cycling and Strava etc.

[danson67]

My wife is Associate Professor of Geography at Staffordshire University, and she is joint-supervising a Phd examining the impact of Strava and other such tracking devices on cyclists' behaviour.
Any help and contributions to the PhD data collection process would be much appreciated.

The researcher is Adam Caine (keen cyclist / mountain biker) who can be contacted on adam.caine@research.staffs.ac.uk if any further details are required.

Based on a questionnaire, it is fairly short, anonymous, ideal for a tea break.

thanks, would love to know how people get these Phd's to do, I would see that and think pointless thing why would anyone fund it.

You'll never make Professor Fluffy with that attitude!

You must have noticed the 'strava effect'?

Ticking the 'other' box and entering something errored the question, so I have to skip on them.

completed it. It should have had more questions. As it asked how many miles i cycle. In the summer i ride lots. But stop in the winter.

I saw that too. Wasn't the British army. They don't do much exercise from what i see from my desk.
