This research examines travel characteristics of cyclists on active transportation (AT) paths in the City of Winnipeg and develops expansion factors to be applied to short duration cyclist volume counts conducted in Winnipeg, MB. The expansion factors will be applied to short duration counts to estimate seasonal average daily traffic (SADT) volumes in Winnipeg and normalize counts taken on different days with different conditions that could affect levels of cycling in a jurisdiction. This will help answer critical questions regarding cycling in a jurisdiction and allow transportation professionals promote the safe and equitable accommodation of cyclists in our transportation system. This thesis (1) determines which months should be included in the SADT calculation for Winnipeg and selects a method of expansion based on ten years of historical weather data and one year of cyclist volume data; and (2) develops expansion factors which can be applied to short duration counts in order to estimate SADT.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate metabolic, cardiorespiratory, and perceptual responses during recumbent cycle ergometry performed at various seat back angles and different work rates. Healthy college-aged men performed steady-state exercise at two work rates, 100 watts (n=46) and 150 watts (n=26), using five back seat angles, 90, 105, 120, 135, and 150 degrees. The results of this study suggest that recumbent seat back angles of 135 to 150 degrees are associated with lower metabolic and cardiorespiratory stress during rest and submaximal exercise than more upright positions. The reduced stress at these angles is accompanied by lower perceptions of exertion and improved seating comfort. The failure of the base-line correction for resting V0 2 to remove the effect of seat back angle implies that the reduced physiological stress associated with these positions is due to reasons other than attenuated resting metabolic costs. It is concluded that the selection of recumbent seat back angles between 135 and 150 degrees can result in improved efficiency, reduced physiological stress, diminished perceptions of exertion, and increased seating comfort.
