Reading cyclist intentions: Can a lead cyclist’s behaviour be predicted? [PDF]
Accident Analysis & Prevention, 2017 As a cyclist, it is essential to make inferences about the intentions of other road users in order to anticipate their behaviour. There are official ways for cyclists to communicate their intentions to other road users, such as using their arms to point in the intended direction of travel.

Cyclists as a minority group? [PDF]
Transportation Research Part F: Traffic Psychology and Behaviour, 2017 In the social science, several definitions of minority group can be found. The definitions include different aspects such as power/status, number, distinctiveness, social category, group context, dispositions, and discrimination. Compared to motorized road users, cyclists are considered vulnerable road users because they lack physical protection.

BMJ Case Reports, 2013 Abnormal liver function tests (LFTs) are a common cause for referral to hepatology outpatient departments. Cross-sectional imaging may reveal a liver lesion. We report the case of a 33-year-old man who presented with abdominal pain and deranged LFTs and was found to have a large liver cyst on ultrasound scanning.
