Abstract
This study investigated the influence of auditory stimulus, specifically listening to music and engaging in hands-free phone calls while cycling, on the lateral position and standard deviation of the lateral position (SDLP) of cyclists. A total of 23 participants completed four experimental conditions: control, listening to music while cycling, having a handsfree-phone call while cycling, and listening to a podcast while cycling. The results of pairwise comparisons revealed no significant differences in SDLP between the control condition and either the music or phone call conditions. Similarly, no significant differences were found in the lateral position between the control condition and either the music or phone call conditions. However, participants reported a higher cognitive workload and increased distraction during the phone call condition. We conclude that auditory stimulus in the form of music or a phone call conversation does not negatively impact a cyclist swerving behavior and lateral position. Practical implications are discussed.
