How about discussing John Forester's statement:

"Cyclists fare best when they act and are treated as drivers of vehicles"

That IS a good thesis

Forester's book is "Effective Cycling". MIT Press. There's a lot of
material on the web, also.

Good point. Search for "Vehicular Cycling" and check out the League of
American Bicyclists (www.bikeleague.org)

I'm taking a college level English class at local community college.

I'm thinking about writing my final research paper on some aspect of
bicycles and bicycling.

I am having a bit of a problem coming up with a "thesis" which means
an argument or statement.

Any ideas?

Make sure you put your name on your paper or you won't get a grade.

Pick a subject that benefits bicyclists... like why is riding uphill
at a given power harder than riding in flatland with the same output.

You must be aware that the best TT riders are often not the best hill
climbers.

Keep in mind he's an English major, not a physicist. A technical
paper may not be the best route to a good grade, unless it's a
technical writing course.

Matt, I think you missed the sarcasm that I assume was intended: Since
the OP thought he needed to explain to us what a "thesis" is, the reply
he got was to explain other obvious things such as "put your name on the
paper" and "riding uphill is harder than riding downhill".

I don't think these were intended to be actual topics for the thesis
(i.e., argument or statement grin).

Cheers,
David

Don't forget to enable a spell checker or you'll get an 'F' on your theme.

Jobst's anathema toward anonymous posting is well known.
At any rate I suppose it's advisable to sign such a formal
paper with something better than "me" or ",
unless "me" really is a 1st person proper noun.

How on earth did erstwhile students ever get by without

A local bicycle coach and cycling advocate, Mike Eddy, has a me@[domain]
address. I didn't figure it out at first.

(You can see his website over yonder: http://www.meinnovations.com/.)

What? - and miss all the fun of being "shushed" by the uptight librarian
when you're talking in too loud of a wisper.... ;-)
