For a level product design I’m looking at producing a bike indicator or bike safety aid for a commuter. To help grasp the key questions I have some questions that would be relay helpful for you to answer. Therefore by creating a range I know if this product or ideas are viable. Thanks for the help, Freddy.
- What problems do you face as a current cyclist, which is the most significant and why?
- Do you believe indicating is an issue that needs to be addressed, if so, why, in terms of the problems. How do you believe they can be eradicated?
- As a non-cyclist, what do you fear could/will happen when cycling and what makes you think this? How can I increase the amount of cyclists?
- How do you believe more commuters could be attracted to cycling as their mode of transport, that’s within my control?
- Do you believe commuters is the right audience to target, if not who and why? If so what are the reasons why I should?
- Do you believe the weight of the product should be considered, bearing in mind the impact this may have on efficiency?
- Do you face any issues with bike lights that could be improved?
- Do you believe an electric bike light is better than a battery powered bike light? What makes you think this?
- Do you find cycling as a struggle for a commuter? What makes you believe this?
- How much do you believe as a commuter, you should pay for a bike indicator? How much for an advanced cyclist? How much for a beginner?
- Do you believe colour or aesthetics should be a certain colour and should this be a factor?
- Do you find getting through stand –still traffic is a problem? Is this because of, confidence or genuine unsafety? How much does this disrupt your timings of cycling to work or is it mainly cycle paths?
