Male Cyclists aged 40-60

[Svendo]

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

1.Yes

2.Yes

3.Work: Ordinary clothes (Only 3 miles) Spare set at work if needed, but cycling specific shoes (MTB spd type), gloves, helmet and jackets and base layers, although they've become part of my everyday wardrobe too.
Leisure: Cycling specific kit, mostly 'souvenir' jerseys.

4.Play guitar, walking dog on moors, TV, reading, listening to radio 4.

5.Nope.

1. Do you cycle to work? Yes... well, I did but I haven't for a few months.

2. Do you cycle for leisure? Yes.

3. What sort of clothes do you wear for cycling? Mostly walking gear, although I've got some of the Tenn Outdoor recycled coffee shirts, which I now wear all the time. Oh, and a Buff, I always wear one of those. Otherwise, it can be anything from jeans to lycra, depending on the destination.

4. What other past times do you do when not at work or cycling? If you mean Pastimes, I'm a parent, also do photography, drink coffee, motorbikes, play with computers and computer games, drink coffee, eat too much and... oh, yeah, and drink coffee.

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



Thanks again Don't mention it.
