Done and I believe @Drago is already trialing one of these.....

Bike to car missile defence.

Yeah, the recoil from the bike mounted CIWS was a bit much.

Good questionaire, I was surprised how much some of the questions made me think.

It's unusual to be asked for textual opinions. These surveys usually only take multiple choice responses which correspond to

• The product we want to steal market share from
• Their nearest competitor
• Something else (our possible 'better' alternative)
• A lucky rabbit's foot

Hi Guys, thanks for all your responses. I've posted this on a few forums and wasn't expecting quite so many responses!
The main takeaway at this point is that people don't like other road users overtaking too close - and this is independent of pretty much all demographics (age, cycle distance, location gender etc).

Your questionnaire states "The aim of the project is to design a product that helps to reduce the perceived risk of cycling".

What type of procuct are you considering, conspicuity aid, PPE or something else?

With regards to this, I'm not 100% sure at this point. I need to email out some follow up questions to find out exactly what it is that makes people feel at risk. If it's the unknown element then it will look quite different to if it's the proximity for example

Since close passes is the main problem (no surprise). You need think about a product that will reduce close passes, which means something installed in vehicles to make close passes a painful experience for the occupants. Maybe a 140 decibel alarm goes off in the vehicle and cuts power and applies brakes if they do a close pass.

You forgot the long spike that shoots out of the centre of the steering wheel.
