[Mackenzie Pullen]

Hi, I am doing a school project and would be really grateful for any responses to this survey.

Oooh, me first!
"a product that makes navigation whilst cycling more accessible to buyers with a lower budget"
An A-Z.

Maybe the OP could offer up some further information about the background to their project, in the interests of provoking some slightly more useful replies?

For a school project its better than a lot of the ones from people that are looking for crowd funding.

4. How often do you cycle?
Once a month
Once a week
Twice a week
More than three times a week

I cycle Tuesday, Friday & Sunday, there is no option for 3 times a week.

5. How far do you go on an average ride?
10k
20k
30k
40k
50k
100k+

I never ride exactly those distances, on average I ride 16 miles, which is roughly 26 kilometres so how do I answer?

8. How do you navigate whilst cycling?
With a paper map
With a phone
With a GPS head unit
If you use paper maps what type and size do you use?

I not use any of those, I use prior knowledge i.e. my brain

Completed, For a school project I thought the survey was well structured. Not every question is going to have an exact answer that reflects your personal situation.

Agreed but by simply changing Q4 to to 3 times or more, Q5 to less than 10K, between 10K & 20K, 20K & 30K etc, also mention miles/Km's 8. Adding option for no device would make the whole thing better, my post wasn't meant as ripping the pi$$ it was meant as constructive criticism to make the OP think a little more if they do another one.

Fair point - I had just come out of a rubbish meeting and I needed a cup of tea !!

I kind of think you can split bike navigation into two types: Having a pre-planned route that you want to stay on (maybe a specific road ride?) and then having a final destination you want to get to but not really caring how you get there (maybe riding to a cafe to meet friends?). For the latter I actually like being able to just ride wherever takes my fancy but I also am conscious of not riding in the wrong direction/missing an important turning. I do have the beeline (https://beeline.co/) but in reality its not as great/easy to use as their videos make it seem. Just my experience .
