  Transportation planning focuses on access to destinations, getting from point A to B. Yet, cycling does more and creates a connection between the cyclist and movements during the journey. Drawing from cycling ethnographic work, I use video recordings of three groups of cyclists, commuter, recreational, and athletic, in Tucson, AZ, to contextualize their movements and interactions with the built environment, drivers, and other cyclists. Cycling can be utilitarian for commuters and a social, leisure, and athletic activity for recreational and athletic riders. Depending on their reason for riding, cyclists utilize infrastructure to suit their needs and protect themselves from drivers. Confidence levels also influence where and how people ride. Commuters rode defensively and sought out less-trafficked facilities. Recreational riders rode solo on paths and in groups on open roads. Athletic riders claimed space from drivers by riding in packs while being mindful of group safety. Video ethnography helps improve the understanding of the different reasons for cycling and those experiences. With this information, planners can provide more accurate maps and overcome pushback from some cyclists by designing infrastructure accordingly—such as providing both a path and bicycle lane along the same corridor to serve various cycling needs.

  The built environment, cyclist behavior, and driver interactions can influence route choice and, ultimately, cyclist safety. Recent studies use crowdsourced data, such as Strava, to document route selection; however, aggregated data may not fully explain the factors underpinning route selection. Utilizing naturalistic methods, we analyze videos of recorded rides and GPS data from six cyclists representing three types of riders—commuters, recreational, and athletes—to explore route choices, behavior, and driver interactions in Tucson, Arizona. Our analysis of three route selection cases highlights how intersection design, driver interactions, pavement conditions, and type of riding lead cyclists to modify behaviors and select longer detours to avoid unsafe intersections. Additionally, our study combines Strava heatmaps and physical bicycle counts to explore the number of cyclists potentially facing similar factors influencing route choice. By studying cyclists with different riding aims and utilizing both Strava heatmaps and video recordings, researchers can determine the underlying conditions, identify route locations in need of improvements, and collaborate with practitioners to implement changes to increase cyclist safety through appropriate solutions. This analysis can help ensure that designs meet user expectations.

  Using Active Learning Strategies Linked to CBPR Principles in a Semester-Long Class Project to Teach Qualitative Research Methods in Public Health

  The use of active learning strategies to engage students in public health education has shown to be effective in promoting meaningful learning experiences. These educational approaches include inquiry- or problem-based, and group-based learning that allow for deeper understanding and internalization of the content material. This type of active learning can extend into the community by applying community-based participatory research (CBPR) principles. Using CBPR can engage both the community and the students on a project, thus benefiting all parties involved. This article describes the components of a class project that linked the active learning strategies of inquiry and group-based learning to CBPR principles as an innovative teaching approach in public health. The design and implementation of the class project is conceptualized in four activity types: (1) engaging the community, (2) working with students, (3) conducting behind the scenes work, and (4) bringing the students and the community together. The project demonstrates the benefits of using CBPR principles in conjunction with active learning principles. It also provides recommendations to public health instructors in higher education, which include the requirements of instructors’ established relationship with the community, commitment to project coordination, flexibility regarding project implementation and class time, and university support for sustaining innovative teaching efforts.
