Bicycle Confinement Laboratory New! -

Much like bicycle simulator labs used to test intersection safety, the BCL utilizes a specialized "Confinement Chamber". Here, researchers measure the "psychological claustrophobia" of riders navigating subterranean bike paths.

In an outdoor, moving environment, the risk of aerosol transmission while drafting is negligible above 1 second of separation. However, inside a confinement scenario (e.g., a virtual cycling studio or a indoor velodrome without ventilation), the accumulation of aerosols reaches hazardous levels within 45 minutes.

currently pioneer this research, focusing on vehicle handling and rider safety. 1. Executive Summary Much like bicycle simulator labs used to test

Building a Bicycle Confinement Laboratory requires merging three distinct engineering disciplines. However, inside a confinement scenario (e

The "confinement" is the operative word. While a standard stationary bike test lasts 20 minutes, a "confinement" protocol lasts hours, days, or even weeks.

We look back on the top inventions that changed the art of cycling.
