Grand challenges in CyclingHCI

Cycling Human-Computer Interaction (CyclingHCI) refers to the study and design of user interfaces and interactions between bicycles and riders in the context of cycling-related experiences. To date, however, there has yet to be a structured agenda for CyclingHCI to clarify the immediate challenges researchers should address next and facilitate the advancement of the field. To advance the development of CyclingHCI, we employed expert sessions with three CyclingHCI experts responsible for the design, development, evaluation, and reflection on the societal implications of 18 CyclingHCI systems. Our analysis led us to 10 grand challenges with design opportunities and considerations grouped as (1) Pushing the technological boundaries for cycling, (2) Understanding and protecting cyclists, and (3) Spatially situated cycling interaction. Our findings provide practical implications for research and practice in designing for CyclingHCI, with which we aim to advance CyclingHCI and enrich the cycling experience through the safe integration of technology.
