Male Cyclists aged 40-60

[leahmp13]

Hi, I am a 3rd year student researching male cyclists, between the ages of 40-60. If anyone could reply to a few questions i have i would be very very grateful.


1. Do you cycle to work?

2. Do you cycle for leisure?

3. What sort of clothes do you wear for cycling?

4. What other past times do you do when not at work or cycling?

5. Would you be interested in a more smart but breathable and movable clothing range?



Thanks again

[Fletch456]

1. Do you cycle to work? No

2. Do you cycle for leisure? Yes

3. What sort of clothes do you wear for cycling? Cycling gear - mainly made from lycra or sportwool

4. What other past times do you do when not at work or cycling? Photography, badminton, usual socialsing

5. Would you be interested in a more smart but breathable and movable clothing range? Sounds good in principle but in short no. I have enough kit and there's lots of choice. If I cycled around a city or did lots of pootling around town and may be also could wear non-smart clothes to work the answer would be yes. Cycling for fitness means "pucka" cycling gear is where it's at for me.

 

[BrumJim]

1. Yes
2. Yes
3. Mixture of full-on road gear, through specific cycling shorts and breathable top (merino or bamboo), to work trousers that are soon to be pensioned off.
4. Eating cake. Oh, ski-ing (but only once a year), gardening, rugby (watching, not participating), running (at the moment)
5. Not too sure. When I'm really pushing it on a hot day, breathable means better than not. But not breathable enough to hop off bike and sit at desk - not even close. And smart would have to be smart. Can't stand non-iron shirts and casual trousers for work, which generally means cotton rather than synthetics. So,probably not.
