First to mind is PubMed, and our friends on the LinkedIn Group Cycling Science, but there are several resources I’ve come in contact with over the years that are interesting (as well as ST). However, wouldn’t quantify all of what I’ve seen in relation to bike fit as “peer reviewed” at all.

I have been to Pub Med, Google scholar and a Med school library. Their is very little peer reviewed. Im looking forthe most up to date.

Agree about the lack of peer review in all aspects of bike fitting, except for being in the crucible of Dan’s garage. I would welcome more opportunities like that.

Not being a medical professional, much of PubMed and similar scientific analyses goes over my head. But those professionals who do comment on subjects in laymans’ terms I readily soak up. Hogg, Pruitt, etc.

Which reminds me…I need to read more of Happy Freedman…

Have you reached out to the folks over at Retul?

there is a fair bit but it is often only looking at one aspect. people to search are Dr. Will Peveler, Dr. Ricardo Bini, etc. it depends what aspect you are looking for. There has been no research that I am aware of that looks at too many variables though. Bini’s PhD thesis is a good read. What specifically are you looking for I have mined this area and might be able to help you.
