Senior Project Cycling?

Since 2001, over 90,000 cyclist's have joined Cycling Forums to discuss topics from general cycling to equipment, training, racing and travel or vacation destinations (especially in europe during the tour de france). We also feature an great deals in our online store, 100's of articles, classifieds and product reviews.

I am a high school student and need to choose an idea for the senior project.

I would like to do it on cycling, but with me being only a recreational cyclist with limited connections, I am finding it quite difficult to come up with ideas. Not only do we have to write a paper, but we also have to also come up a product.

All I can seem to manage for a topic is bicycle safety.

What class is this project for?

Science -- human powered vehicles (HPVs) are pretty interesting and technical, the physiology of cycling is also worth a look, evolution of materials used in bicycle construction, or evolution of bicycle design. Look for this book (http://www.amazon.com/Bicycling-Science-David-Gordon-Wilson/dp/0262731541/ref=pd_bbs_3?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1201573666&sr=8-3) at the library or bookstore for lots of science-y ideas and info

Economics/Business -- Effects of cycling for urban transportation/commuting

Art -- you know, bicycle artsy stuff. :p

A kid around here promoted a race for his high school project.

Organise a cycling event or ride for a good cause in your local community, maybe with a safety related aspect to the message "awareness of cyclists" for example. That would require planning, marketing, selling and production of a "product" (being the message/cause you are supporting).

How about a dedicated bicycle commuting system to take cyclist out of harms way. In this ever changing, over populated and heavily polluted world. The bicycle shines like a beacon showing the way to a cleaner healthier population. Will we ever out grow the car culture that taxes our natural resources and creates a national economic burden as our need to fuel this culture grows … need I go on ?
