Abstract
Cycling, as a sport, encompasses a range of types from the reproducible conditions prevailing in indoor velodrome track cycling through road racing to the very variable conditions experienced in mountain or all-terrain biking. All of these aspects of the sport are represented by the papers presented in this section of the conference. Indeed, by covering the performance of helmets the paper by Alam et al. is also relevant to everyday commuting by bicycle. The papers presented also cover a number of aspects involved in circular development from design through performance to improved design, with a strong concentration on sensor development and analysis to optimise performance and training.
