Figure 3.7: Extract of bicycle speed with corresponding acceleration data on Section 5 of Mon-198. (Note: the red line with circles shows speed (mph), the blue line shows acceleration (g ), and the green line shows the test section portion used for analysis where speed > 5 mph.) UCPRC staff conducted test rides on local roads near Davis, California, to evaluate the instrumentation system and develop the data analysis procedure before using it for this study. A list of bicycle vibration evaluations on the Phase 1 sections is shown in Table 3.7. The testing conducted on July 12 and 13, 2013, allowed evaluation of bicycle vibration on various pavement surfaces, while the testing conducted on July 23, 2013, allowed evaluation of the effects of speed and tire pressure on bicycle vibration.
