Resources

Our work is creating a wide overview of cycling and behaviour change research. Here we provide links to those documents and sources we feel others will find most useful. 

With help from our partner, Nancy Smith Lea (Toronto Centre for Active Transportation), Lake Sagaris prepared an initial cycling bibliography, available here. We have also identified a series of cycling research hubs, which are producing new work on a wide variety of topics, with links available below. If you know of more or are involved in your own research, please contact lake.sagaris@utoronto.ca, and keep us posted.
 

Bibliographies

This our initial bibliography. It is a rich source of further information and research.

Cycling Research Hubs

Our research forms part of a growing movement worldwide to document and evaluate experiences in improving cycling as a transport mode using diverse approaches and techniques, from the social sciences, engineering and other fields. For more information, click the link above.
