Dissertation Birmingham Commuters

Post by peaterpan »

Dear CTC Members

I am an undergraduate Human Geography Student at University of Leicester.

For my dissertation I am conducting research into the cause and effect of the conflict between cyclists and motorists in the context of commuter cyclists in Birmingham. To complete this I need 15-20 volunteers who regularly cycle a particular route, such as commuting to work. This research aims to study those of all abilities, levels of experience, and distances travelled.

Research participants would need to:
-be willing to be contacted by email
-fill out a report of their commute which would answer some specific questions about their experience.
-give me the directions of the route that they take (excluding the exact locations of home and work)

My study needs to be completed by 26/09/14. I have chosen to avoid face to face contact, as email contact gives the participant greater flexibility as to when they complete the above tasks.

I will guarantee that any personal information is kept confidential (safe on a password protected computer), and the research participant will be anonymous in the write up of the work.

My email address is jp334@student.le.ac.uk

I hope to hear from some of you soon.

Yours sincerely
Jack

Birmingham cycle commuters zip-clip razorblades under the peaks of their helmets.

regular commuters are pretty experienced by definition...
A shortcut has to be a challenge, otherwise it would just be the way. No situation is so dire that panic cannot make it worse.
There are two kinds of people in this world: those can extrapolate from incomplete data.

In Response to [XAP]Bob:

Yes, but some who has regularly commuted a route for a month, may feel less' experienced' than someone who has regularly commuted a route for 10 years. I just wanted to stress the inclusive nature of the work I am doing.

Define “Experienced”?

One trip? Two trips? Five thousand trips? Been knocked down by a thirty tonner?

As both my wife and I are no longer commuters we can not help directly.

But you may find Birmingham Cyclists Forum helpful.
Assuming that you did not know of them before.
