It is very encouraging that become more and more data on the safety of cyclists and the General adoption of cycling. Most recently, Oregon Health Sciences University published their study of bike commuting in Portland. And provide some specific and valuable insights about Portland, this provides only limited value of the study for broader conclusions on the safety and risks of bike commuting as a whole. The discussion that has followed this study as well as many of the recent studies has quite heated been. Generalizations and width conclusions have back and forth ceaselessly (together with hardened discourse offsetting these generalizations) flicked been.
Some of the studies seem pretty tailored to draw conclusions to a specific agenda to support while these agendas generally pleasant to the most bike commuters are, the perception, that "the agenda strongly motivated the study" is in danger, the study a biased feel, from the studies draws overall authority and thus its usefulness at the end.
I will say emphatically I deleted the efforts in the various recent cycling studies such as the recent Australian helmet study, the London assertiveness study and numerous other applaudieren.Informationen is collected, organized and presented a difficult task which is advanced to the cycling cyclist and our efforts to a more secure environment. However, during this effort enormous, I feel, it is important that efforts are made to the resulting studies within a wider range of existing and yet to be collected data to contextualize.
After the release of most of these studies would it be wise, start talking to confirm that at the moment, instead we focused on our instincts and assumptions of comprehensive data argue Temperieren.Die are so far not wide enough data sets, provide to each level of security. I can confirm that the publication of a study leads the arguments and debates, the consequences to some very interesting discussions. But it also feels, how we spend much time chasing our own tails are.
A broader objective to discuss cycling data sets the collection attempts the puzzle pieces together. This would mean that would collect and compare data from a variety of bicycling studies. The aim is to organize, a wider set of data presented as much information available about bike commuting in as many scenarios have been examined.
It is clear that the groups behind the current studies wider level of research would perform if you could. are the restrictions certainly financial. And I am sure that plenty is car and plane using appropriate details due to the financial stimulus to understand this. I wonder whether the Dutch or the Danes not already comprehensive studies on bicycle commute with the aim of supporting the dynamics of their exemplary commitment for bicycling infrastructure development have carried out. I wonder if the Dutch and Danes ever study as would consider an example to the transport infrastructure to implement.Probably not do not drag on probably focused on what works, what does not remain.
Piecing together current resources help bike commuters studies limited, should one of the objectives, momentum towards encouraging and motivating larger scale, broad based research aufzubauen.Fahrrad commute studies must recognize that they appear a slice in the image, and thus the need for full spectrum define show.Effort, all existing studies under a common framework would be indeed a very fruitful effort and.In fact, if someone is considering carrying out a study on bike commuting would in their region, I instead encourage hold, to look at the value to collect existing data and the points of cohesion between different data sets.CommuteByBike.com and UtilityCycling.org would certainly provide support if such compendium study was carried out.
To convince an appropriate amount is perhaps either local or Federal Government come to see motivation better understanding how the cycling in our transportation infrastructure can better fit is clear, and it would be only a very small slice BP reparations for a very thorough, width based and especially useful study of cycling, security, use and implementation in the world, the value in other studies of bicycling safety and acceptance take .the.
It can also a financial motivation bicycle use and safety information about sammeln.Google comes to mind. While it unclear how dedicated Google to improve your cycling map data is (i.e. the bike it function), clear it seems that the collection of data about cycling would help the functionality of these cards to verbessern.Lage specific information about bicycle accidents could potentially Google recommend secure Radwege.Zur same time this data for other purposes could recompiled werden.Google is certainly master of both the data gathering and reporting, and if you discovered to focus a motivation, your expertise in data to cycling I'm pretty sure that some very relevant and useful information that would support decisions on the implementation of agendas, support the wider adoption of cycling could recompile.
