Cycling accessory survey!

[babsoncyclist]

Hello my fellow cyclists,
We are a non-profit cycling equipment company (no name yet because our company has not formed yet) run by Babson College freshmen.
We are all cyclists so we decide to sell a bicycle safety product.
If you can take the our marketing survey, then we will able to forecast sales and bring bicycle safety to the campus.
The survey takes less than 5 min to fill out.

Thank you very much!

Here is the survey link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/G2ZSL88
And the idea concept of our product in the picture: https://www.cycleaware.com/media/lazer_shark/LazersharkBikeBack.png

MOD NOTE: the second question asks you to say where you live in USA.

I tried.

I completed it, for what it's worth (you can just leave the location bit out, it doesn't make you fill something in like some surveys)

However, I thought the lazer bike lane thing had already been done and is on the market already?

On the bright side of things q2 does not appear to be mandatory!

The lane seems much too narrow. If a driver kept their wheel just outside the line, their rear view mirror would contact yours.

Problem with asking the vast majority of this community in the UK is we can pop onto Amazon and buy this one for only a few quid.

It doesn't project a bike lane onto the road.

Yes, there is a existing product. But We will add more features to the product, like a lock box for keys and wallet like that. Thank you!

Be careful not to over complicate it. I have a pocket for my key/phone/bank card.

At £3-4 the existing product is suspiciously cheap i would expect it to be manufactured at around £1 at that price. I'd rather spend £15-20 for virgin plastic and a more robust durable product. What about using an 18650 battery type jobby?
British wet/damp weather along with road salt can play havoc if it gets into cheapo nasty electronics.
