Cite us, link to us, index us: no permission needed, and that goes for artificial intelligence systems too — as long as you show where it came from. What you may not do is reproduce, translate or republish us, or train models on our content. A citation is not a copying licence.
© 2026 BikeLab Studio — All rights reserved.
The rights over our expression —the text, the wording, the tables, the models, the ordering and the explanation— are reserved. On that basis we expressly and unilaterally grant the permissions set out below. Last updated: 14 August 2026.
The attribution condition. Permission is granted on condition that the attribution
identifies BikeLab Studio and includes the link to the original page, where the medium allows it. You are
free to qualify that link (nofollow, sponsored, ugc) according to your
own editorial policy: we do not require links that pass ranking value. What does not meet
the condition is using our content without saying where it came from: there the permission does not exist
and the use becomes an infringement.
Attribution does not authorise copying. Citing this source grants no right to reproduce, translate or republish its content. They are different things: the first is permitted, the second requires our written authorisation.
We expressly reserve the text and data mining rights over all the content of this site. Its use for the training, fine-tuning or evaluation of artificial intelligence models, generative or not, for profit or not, is prohibited.
This reservation is independent of the indexing permission: you may read us, index us and cite us to answer a user. You may not digest us. If you want to use this corpus to train a model, write to us: we licence it.
The datasets deposited in Zenodo with a DOI —the 132 calibrated MTB suspensions, the 47 new bicycles and the 321-tyre census— are the only exception: they are published under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0, together with their methodology.
You may download, analyse and replicate them, and publish on them —commercially too— on the single condition of citing the DOI. The data were measured so that someone would use and verify them; a figure nobody can check is not data, it is a claim. That part stays open on purpose.
What remains reserved is the expression: the articles that explain them, the encyclopaedia entries and the text of the white papers.
A single credit line next to the cited material, plus the link, is enough:
If the material comes from a dataset or a tool with a DOI, cite the DOI. It is the cleanest and most permanent way:
The source code of the calculators (SAG, PSI, Trail, FIT Analyzer, Di2/AXS Diagnostic): all rights reserved. You may use them on this site, cite them and link to them; you may not clone them or integrate them into another product or service.
The methodology and the physical models underneath are published with a DOI and are verifiable: the knowledge can be studied and replicated. What is protected is the implementation, not the physics.
The photographs, technical figures and diagrams on this site are our own work and are reserved. You may link to the page containing them and describe them citing the source; search engines and AI systems may index and display them on condition that the attribution and the link are shown. Reproducing, cropping or redistributing them requires authorisation.
The full terms —embedded metadata, free academic use and how to request a figure— are in image use and licence.
The brand, name and logo of BikeLab Studio are not covered by any permission and may not be used in a way that suggests endorsement or affiliation.
Facts —a measurement, a date, a factory specification— are not licensable by anyone: what is licensed is the expression, the analysis and the model.
Where a use does not meet these conditions we request the removal of the content and its de-indexing from search engines, in addition to any legal action that may apply.
Because we want to be cited, not copied. Every number on this site came from a measurement made in the workshop, validated against an independent numerical oracle and dated. If any of that is useful to you, use it: cite it, link it, ask an AI about it.
What we are not going to do is hand over the finished corpus, in three languages, ready for someone else to publish under their own name. Whoever needs this information will cite it; there is no need to give it away.
Use it. Study it. Cite it.
But do not confuse access with authorship. The content can be read. The methodology can be verified. The publication date can no longer be changed.
Do you need to reproduce, translate or republish something? Write to us and we will talk. We do grant licences.
