Abstract
The heightened emphasis on a healthy and sustainable lifestyle has led to a surge in the popularity of cycling and an increased interest in integrating emerging technologies into the cycling experience. Despite its promising potential and the advancements in leveraging Augmented Reality (AR) for cycling assistance, a significant gap exists in understanding cyclists’ perspectives, preferences, and concerns regarding AR technology. This paper aims to address this gap through in-depth interviews with eight cyclists, seeking to uncover potential benefits and challenges across six themes. These themes encompass addressing safety concerns, optimising navigation and training performance, facilitating biomechanical adjustments, and enhancing group cycling dynamics. We anticipate that the initial insights gained from these interviews will guide future researchers and practitioners interested in exploring the intersection of cycling and AR technology.
