Research Project: Understanding and experience of structural weaknesses in bicycle frames

Help UNSW Researchers in their study about bikes!

Researchers at the University of NSW are conducting an online survey about bike riders’ understanding and experience of structural weaknesses in bicycle frames.

The team are looking for people who want to take part in this research and who are:

  • Aged 18 years or over
  • Previously or currently a regular rider (defined as riding at least once per week, on
    average, for a period of at least 6 months)

You can choose to participate whether or not you have experience of structural weakness in your bike.

The online survey takes about 10 minutes to complete and responses are completely anonymous.

The survey closes on Friday 10 November.
