Cycling Research – what does cycling mean to you?

Pam Faulks, a Great Escapade participant who also happens to be doing her PhD on events like the Great Victorian Bike Ride and the Great Escapade, is looking for other Great Escapade Participants to help her with her research.

Before, during and after the Ride Pam wants to interview people about how they got into cycling, and their experiences in events like the Great Escapade.

It doesn’t matter if it is your 1st ride or your 20th , you just need to be over 18 years of age! 

If you would like to help with the research, or just want to find out more, please contact Pam.
