Research Opportunity for Cyclists
Recreational Cyclists:
You are invited to participate in an online survey study investigating cyclists’ perceptions about sun exposure risks and the actions cyclists take to protect themselves from the sun while riding outdoors. The study is being conducted by Dr. C. Raymond Knee, Kristen N. Petty, M.A., and Dr. Aaron K. Joseph. This is a preliminary study that may lead to a series of more advanced studies once results are observed and reported. In order to participate, you must be at least 18 years of age. You must also be actively involved in recreational cycling/biking. The one-time anonymous survey is expected to take 10-15 minutes to complete. Please click on or copy/paste the link below to proceed to the informed consent page and begin the study: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?s...3rp41Vag_3d_3d Upon completion of the survey, you may choose to have your name entered in a drawing for one of several $100 gift cards to Performance Bike. Please direct any questions or comments to Kristen Petty at . We appreciate your assistance on this research project! Dr. C. Raymond Knee and Kristen N. Petty Department of Psychology University of Houston 126 Heyne Houston, TX 77204-5022 http://www.psychology.uh.edu/Special...andMotivation/ Dr. Aaron K.

As a sport or recreation it is likely to be the one that gives people their most exposure? How many tennis players are on the court for the length of time a cyclist is on the cycle doing a century? Football players wear a lot more clothes. And perhaps one or more of the investigators are cyclists? It does not look all that suspicious to me. John Kane Kingston ON Canada |

Why the specificity toward only cyclists? I just tried it. It's a innocuous survey but not very well thought out. It makes the completely unwarranted assumption that just because one is a recreational cyclist that is all that one is. I answered the questions but it was clear that the responses are likely to be nonsense since about 90% of my cycling is utility cycling. I don't bother to put on sunscreen for a 10 minute ride to work dressed in working clothes. I do use sunscreen when I'm doing a 100k ride especially in the summer. Simlarly there were questions about wearing tights. Again, if it's cold enough I wear jeans when going to the store but tights if I'm on a club ride. Also for a survey in an international forum, the request to state what 'state' (presumably US state) where one lives and temperatures expressed only in Fahrenheit seems a bit negligent. What the blazes is 55 F in real terms? Something like 10-12C ? It looks legit, but hopefully it is a very early first pilot test. It needs to be reviewed by some expert survey writers and some experienced cyclists before it will have any validity. John Kane Kingston ON Canada |

Farm labourers, roofers, et al get a heck of a lot more solar exposure than folks engaged in recreational activities. If these ~Doctors~ are so concerned about the risks of solar exposure and awareness of, and practices to mitigate those risks -- perhaps the focus of their study is misdirected, as well as too concentrated on a single, select group. I guess the next thing will be figuring out how to prevent bowlers from having too many strokes. I invite rebuttal from the Original Poster. cheers, Tom -- Nothing is safe from me.

I guess the next thing will be figuring out how to prevent bowlers from having too many strokes. I invite rebuttal from the Original Poster. I'd like to see one too. However the survey is apparantly looking at social pressure to use/ wear protective sun blocking in recreation. I get the impression, perhaps unwarranted, that the target audience is youth who are likely to be very fashion concious in their cycling gear and behaviour. You'r right that lots of people get more sun but with the possible exception of competitive sunbathers (See Gerry Trudeau's cartoon) or surfers it's hard to think of anyone who is likely to get more expose that relatively serious recreational cyclists and golfers (who have a totally different type of wardrobe). |
