Summary

This study investigates the effectiveness of an intervention that aims at restoring bicycle balance control skills in seniors that have quit cycling. The intervention will last 11 weeks and involves three components: (1) training on an exercise bicycle, (2) a balance control training on a bicycle simulator, and (3) cycling on the public roads with a safe start-and-stop technique that was practiced on the bicycle simulator. In the bicycle simulator training, the difficulty of the balance control will be increased gradually, slowly approaching the difficulty of bicycle balance control on the public roads.
