Hello people,
For those on the forum I haven't met; my name is Kit, I study anthropology at Goldsmiths and have been playing polo for about 6 months now. I am part of the league-dominating team The Pickled Onion (currently at the bottom of 2nd division, I believe).
As part of my course I have to do a piece of research, and I thought I'd focus on something I knew and loved; Cycling! More specifically, how people identify with their bikes. I am looking at notions of technology and specialisation.
I shall be doing this (completely unobtrusive) research over the next few weeks, and thought it would be worth starting a thread, and see what people thought.
So, could you share with me the details and specs of your bikes which make it your bike - what distinguishes it from the rest, and what you have done to make it more in tune with your riding. Also, if you have any suggestions, queries or problems with this research.
Thanks all!
Kit Jury Morgan
