Hey Kyle,
Apologies for the cold email (your contact was given to me by a friend who rides in the ACCC)! I’m a medical student at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine and an avid cyclist. I am currently working on a large research project investigating risk factors for accidents and injuries among amateur competitive cyclists, and I am hoping you will share this study with the Atlantic Collegiate Cycling Conference.
We are surveying cyclists across all disciplines and experience levels to better understand how training habits, race categories, and racing experience influence injury risk. Insights from this study will help educate riders, inform race safety practices, and guide future injury-prevention efforts in competitive cycling. Participation in the survey is open to any rider who is over 18 years old and has raced at least once in the past 12 months, and the survey takes less than 5 minutes to complete:
I’ve also attached a flyer summary in case you are willing to share it with members of your conference.
Thank you so much for helping advance research that aims to make our sport safer and more accessible for everyone. Feel free to reach out with any questions about the survey or the research more generally.
Best regards,
Henry Stewart
