Science Fair Proposal

1: My topic is Bicycling Repair and Creation

2: Cyclists with more money to spend on their bikes are doing better in racing overeall because they have money to buy better bike than that of their competition.

3. Hypothesis: If the price of a cyclists bicycle is of the highest out of all the cyclists in a race, then they will place amongst the highest.

4: I would then research races in my general area so that I can attend them. Then once their I would take notes of the results of the race. Find out who came in the top three, and who came in the bottom 3. After knowing the results of the race I would attempt to find them in order to study and find out the bike model they have. After obtaining enough information about the bike I would then use that information to research the total cost of the entire set up and compare the prices to the cost of other racers bikes in the same races. After collecting enough date I would then study this information and find out how the price of a races bike corresponds to the place of the rider.

Blog 5a: Problem Statement

1) Cycling and Repairs.

2) It is become prevalent that urban cyclist do not like to wear their helmets. In the case they get into an accident they are unprotected and are at risk of being seriously injured or even killed. I need to find a way to help protect cyclist with a way of getting people to be safe with some sort of way of not having something so bulky like a helmet physically on their heads. To fix this problem I would work with some creators of the invisible bike helmet to get them in america and on production.


3) I've known that it can be problem for cyclist with something breaking on their bikes leaving them stranded in an area because of a problem with their bikes such as a flat tire, bent rim, or malfunctioning derailleur. With no way to immediately fix them the cyclist is forced to carry the bike all the way back to a shop or the nearest area. I want to make an emergency tool set for just those occasions.
