Science Friday: Science of cycling
Science Friday has a podcast, a radio show, and also publishes online articles. Currently, they’re interested in pitches about the science of cycling – “We’re looking for stories about the science of cycling as the pro season heats up ahead of the Grand Tours. These could take on the science of any aspect of cycling (eg., physical and mental endurance, geography, team dynamics, equipment, history, etc.) but should be interesting to cycling fans and non-fans alike. These could be simple explainers of some interesting aspect of cycling, larger looks at how something has evolved, overlooked histories, etc. In general, we’re not looking for small technical advances or single-study findings unless they have a compelling impact.” They pay $0.80/word for stories of 500-1,000 words in English, and up to 1,200 words in Spanish. (Please see their note about payment, including to non-US writers). Details here (scroll down to the end for theme details).
