CycleChat User survey

[Fab Foodie]

Done!

I think you're missing 'Utility bike' and 'Folding bike' as major categories. Also under wheels 'Handbuilt' as well as 'Other' might be interesting.

 

[Slioch]

Done

 

[NorthernDave]

Also done.

I partook

It seemed quite harmless to me

 

[arallsopp]

No option for recumbent tandem...

Not too surprised to see Conti and Schwalbe pulling ahead. Every (decently ridden) bike I see on my commute is schwalbe shod these days.

Hi everyone, I thought it might be fun and interesting to create an anonymous user survey based on this forums members on where the users come from, how young/old we are, what kind of bicycles we have and ride and what kind of components the majority of us uses.

If you want to take part you can find the survey here https://de.surveymonkey.com/r/HDFYZDP


and find the results here https://www.surveymonkey.com/results/SM-H39WJQMR/

You will find the results after completing the survey.

Cheerio,

Paul

Sorry to be picky but you want to know what kind of bikes we ride but almost all options ask only about the main bike. It is not going to give the representative view of our total habits and interests, only our main bike preferences, which I suspect will be a more narrow and unrepresentative view as in the main we'll identify as one thing (commuter, sunday/club runner roadie, MTBer, Long distance tourer, no car .....) whilst many of us will be more than just that main activity.

I don't particularly have a main bike, I have several that suit individual needs and when it doesn't matter I go with what is closest or the one I fancy a ride on most that day.

For me, what I appreciate about this survey is being able to see the results. So often our answers disappear into a black hole never to be seen again!

I had to change some questions as on this survey website, there is only 10 questions max available if you don´t have a paying account.

To be honest I just created this survey quickly because I had a boring day at work

Done

 

[mickle]

Makes me want to start a bicycle component manufacturing company called 'Other'.

 

[steveindenmark]

It did not see where the Fun side was and so didnt bother.

Statistics is not for everyone but some people get exited about stats and figures.

Statistics is not for everyone but some people get exited about stats and figures.

Others get shown the door.

 

[Klassikbike]

Not sure what you mean gavintc.

I think such a survey can be interesting as it can show the development in cycling. It shows a bigger picture not only of the people here at CycleChat but also for cyclists in general.
A same survey 5 years or so later might show changes to our cycling culture.
Our cycling generation is aging will the young new generation jump in, will Road Bikes slowly dissapear, will Ebikes be what everybody needs. Will the curreently smaller parts and brake makers be able to take more market share and reduce the current oligopoly?

I completed the survey. Good luck. Just to let you know if you are having trouble with Survey Monkey try Google forms. It is completely free and there is no limit to 10 questions. You can also do a fair bit of analysis on the results in the Google Spreadsheets it exports the data to.
