Community Psychology: Common Values, Diverse Practicespower differentials between researchers and the general public, which could potentially impact on ethical datacollection.Access to, and responsible use of funds, was the third issue that we needed to work through. YSJU ‘seed’funding was granted for the project, on condition that certain ‘products’ eventuated from the work. These includedthis conference paper, a report for the funders, and a further funding bid, which remains to be written (due to thelack of notification from the city council regarding bids from research-active bodies in the city). We have thereforenot been able to utilise all the funding granted, because some of the pragmatic issues summarised aboveimpacted on the work we could deliver.‘Cycle’ one: Example of a trial of photo-voice: My cycle route from home to workThe slides related to this part of the presentation may be viewed at:http://www.yorksj.ac.uk/Test/gearing_up/random_xml_banner_cycle2.htmlThe following comments are linked to photographs taken on one of the researchers’ routes between home andwork:Cyclists in York span the ages - it's great to see, even though there are obstacles …Sometimes people feel safer on the pavements (not surprising, given how close some buses pass)Here's a part of a cycle route that works well (due to the marked cycle lane)But then the cycle route disappears … and one can feel vulnerableIt feels good to be part of the cycling 'tribe', which is so diverse in YorkThough, you need to be wary – drivers sometimes underestimate how close you are (if they notice youat all)Oh good - a cycle lane where there are few cars - but beware the tourists!This route through the ‘Bar’ works quite well, giving cyclists a safe startBut then where do you go when this happens? However, it’s okay, work is just across to the right!This methodology illustrated some of the ethical challenges referred to before, and though we had hoped togather similar narratives for six different routes into York, we only have one other, located athttp://w3.yorksj.ac.uk/research/research-cluster-projects/healthy-communities/gearing-up.aspx .‘Cycle’ two: A survey of colleagues’ attitudes to cyclingSurvey Participants: over 50% cycle daily, and 2:1 of them were females.Ages 18-60+All City of York citizensWe asked participants about their motivations to cycle, this provided insight into participants lived experience andtheir relationship to the environment.236
