    • Assessing aerodynamic performance in cycling using computational fluid dynamics 

      Mannion, Paul; Clifford, Eoghan; Blocken, Bert; Hajdukiewicz, Magdalena (NUI Galway, 2016-08-29)
      Aerodynamic resistance is one of the leading challenges to overcome in elite cycling. To optimize cycling aerodynamics, estimates must first be made by means of wind tunnel testing, computational fluid dynamics or track ...

    • Using mental mapping to unpack perceived cycling risk 

      Manton, Richard; Rau, Henrike; Fahy, Frances; Sheahan, Jerome; Clifford, Eoghan (Elsevier, 2016-01-04)
      Cycling is the most energy-efficient mode of transport and can bring extensive environmental, social and economic benefits. Research has highlighted negative perceptions of safety as a major barrier to the growth of cycling. ...
