, a facility dedicated to testing bicycle dynamics, safety, and infrastructure within a controlled, simulated environment . Facilities like the TU Delft Bicycle Lab
Enter the Bicycle Confinement Laboratory. At institutions like the University of Colorado Boulder and TU Delft, researchers placed an infected dummy (simulating a high-output cyclist) on a stationary bike inside the chamber. A live rider pedaled behind. By releasing tracer aerosols (non-toxic, fluorescent particles) from the "infected" rider, and sampling the air at the "follower’s" mouth, the BCL settled the debate.
