Oxford-based business, Streamlines, was launched in 2021 following years of aerodynamic research. They have now developed cycling performance technologies to enable cyclists to test and improve their aerodynamic performance on everyday roads with wind tunnel accuracy.
Amanda Gerbasi gives us the insight on how it all began. “Streamlines founder, John Buckley, has over 20 years’ experience as a motorsport aerodynamicist. He has worked in Formula One, is a life-long swimmer and loves triathlons. He became passionate about cycling but was getting frustrated by why his race times did not reflect his expected performance recorded from wind tunnels. There was no way for cyclists to test their aerodynamic performance in real life conditions. So, in 2016 John began investigating ways of measuring aerodynamic drag in outdoor environments”
