	Nutrient Cycling in Pastures
		Maintaining effective nutrient cycling in the soil is highly dependent on maintaining an active and diverse population of soil organisms.
		Effective carbon cycling in pastures depends on a diversity of plants and healthy populations of soil organisms.
		Taproots are effective in breaking down compacted layers deep in the soil profile while shallow, fibrous roots break up compacted layers near the soil surface.(37) Active populations of soil organisms also reduce soil compaction by forming soil aggregates and burrowing into the soil.

	College-level courses in Cycling Affairs
		Cycling is not serious transportation, cycling on roads is dangerous, cyclists should be frightened of traffic, those who do cycle in traffic possess unusual abilities and skills not available to the average person.
		Cycling is concentrated among those with the status, ability, understanding, and perseverance to withstand the discrimination and petty insults with which cyclists are treated.
		Real cycling organizations are nearly always appreciative of efforts to enforce the law against unlawful cyclists, because they realize that the unlawful behavior of most cyclists reflects on their status in society and jeopardizes their rights.

	Effective Cycling - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Effective Cycling is a trademarked cycling educational program designed by John Forester, which was the national education program of the League of American Wheelmen for a number of years.
		Forester sums up Effective Cycling with what he calls the vehicular cycling (VC) principle: "Cyclists fare best when they act and are treated as drivers of vehicles." This injunction is consistent with the rules of the road, which generally apply to all types of drivers of vehicles.
		Forester generally opposes facilities (such as bicycle lanes) which he contends encourage behavior that is contrary to the vehicular cycling practices.

	Effective Cycling
		Effective Cycling therefore teaches the enjoyment of cycling, from urban cycling, which is enjoyable for most trips, to club day cycling, short touring, long touring, the beginning of racing for those who wish it, and cycling with spouses and with children.
		This aspect of Effective Cycling teaches not only this recognition, but teaches also what individual cyclists, and the Bicycle Transportation Organization, should be doing, and can do, to preserve cyclists' rights to cycle properly with the rights of drivers of vehicles on roads that are designed to facilitate proper cycling.
		Each Effective Cycling Course for Children concentrates only on traffic-safe cycling on roads and in traffic that are appropriate for the age of the child.

	cycling biomechanics
		With the introduction of clipless pedals, injuries associated with incorrect positioning and alignment of the cleats (or plates) on the cycling shoe became evident and it was generally agreed by biomechanists that rigidly fixing the cyclist’s foot to the pedal places undesirable stresses on the knee during pedalling.
		Some cyclists prefer to mount the cleats on their cycling shoes in such a way that the ball of the foot is slightly in front of or behind the pedal axle.
		When the ball of the foot is ahead of the axle, the effective lever arm from the ankle to the pedal axle is shortened, requiring less force to stabilise the foot on the pedal and putting less strain on the Achilles tendon and gastrocnemius.

	Vehicular cycling - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Vehicular cycling (VC) is the practice of driving bicycles on public roads in a manner which is visible, predictable, and in accordance with the rules of the road for operating a vehicle.
		Cycling in the door zone (many cyclists track their tires just outside of the door zone, apparently not realizing that their elbows or even handlebars are close enough to be struck by a suddenly opening door, possibly forcing the cyclist into traffic with little to no warning).
		Advocates of vehicular cycling such as John Forester, John Franklin and John S. Allen argue that cycling in accordance to the vehicular rules of the road is the safest and most effective means to use a bicycle for transportation.

		Cycling footwear can be classified under two broad categories: those with hard soles and those with soft soles.
		These data showed that, during steady speed cycling, not all regions of the foot were equally important in their interaction with the shoe.
		Cycling has been used as a common tool for diagnosis and/or rehabilitation of patients with ischemic heart disease, postoperative training after surgery to the joints of the lower limb, exercise for patients with joint disorders such as arthritis, and as an altemative to running.

		Granted, every reader is bound to disagree with (or be outright pissed off by) something in Effective Cycling, but the depth to which the act of cycling in traffic is analyzed makes it a model for anyone trying to develop their own coherent method.
		Forester's concept of "vehicular cycling" cleared away a lot bad advice being dispensed by authorities, and is still the core concept of bicycle education.

	[No title] (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The idea that vehicular-method cycling requires extremely rare physical or mental abilities is merely another demonstration of the exaggerated fear of traffic.4 When people believe that cycling in traffic is extremely dangerous, they naturally conclude that the ability to stay alive in that traffic requires superhuman abilities.
		All that Effective Cycling does is to enable the user to learn rapidly what he or she would tend to learn naturally over a much longer period.
		The policy that they advocate is to use the popular fear of cycling in traffic and the popular superstition that bikeways protect against motor traffic and "make cycling safe." Their program is to develop a system of bikeways which will attract noncyclists to the kind of cycling transportation that non-cyclists understand.

	Chapter 5: Behavior 2--The Real: How Bicyclists Actually Behave.
		If we label one style of riding “vehicular cycling,” we can dub the broader range of cyclists’; behavior as “affordance cycling,” meaning that the bicyclist’s actions are governed less by preplanned and analyzed patterns and more by what seems to make sense from among all the possible actions the bicyclist perceives in the moment.
		While Effective Cycling is presumably guided by extensive planning and analysis, bicycling in general is much more free form, which should not be confused with chaotic, even though it may sometimes look that way.
		I have seen an “expert” cyclist—he was a certified Effective Cycling Instructor and president of a bike club with more than 1,000 members—lead a group of cyclists comprised of the board of directors of that club down city sidewalks for two blocks to access a bike path.

	Bicycle Transportation Engineering, Effective Cycling, Highways & Bikeways: Consulting Engineer in
		There are many skills associated with cycling, some having to do with the bicycle itself, others with the match between you and your bicycle, others explaining how to ride with least fatigue, others with how to handle the environmental conditions of heat and cold, rain, darkness, winds, and hills.
		Staying away from traffic is how they describe safe cycling, and if you cannot stay away from it you have to fight it, which makes cycling worrisome and dangerous, so they say.
		Vehicular cycling, so named because you are acting as the driver of a vehicle, just as the traffic laws require, is faster and more enjoyable, so that the plain joy of cycling overrides the annoyance of even heavy traffic.
