To those who are interested in academic research on cycling, Elsevier are currently making a selection of articles published in their journals free to access until Dec 31, 2013.

There's a meta-analysis on helmet use, and a couple looking at different factors that influence cycling uptake.

Perhaps some of you will find them informative/interesting?

Its nice to see Elsevier actually trying to do open access! Some of the papers look interesting but others are a slightly odd selection, the one on "The effect of weather and climate on bicycle commuting" looks particularly fishy, although i havent read past the abstract yet.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
