Women Talk Bikes/Cyclist Visibility & Bicycle Thundercats of Cal Poly Pomona

The undergrad students of Cal Poly Pomona’s Dr. Gwen Urey’s Urban Planning and Research Methods course conducted a study called “Cyclist Conspicuity in Pomona” in the fall of 2014. Calling themselves the Bicycle Thundercat team, they went out to the streets of Pomona to observe how invisible a Pomona cyclist really is during dawn and dusk hours.

Host, Daniella Alcedo, interviews students Olivia Offutt and Arturo Ortuno with Dr. Gwen Urey on their process, work and learning experience.
