    Question 3) If there was a cycling website where you could do more than chat like this website would you be willing to pay an annual membership fee?
    b) No

    Question 4) If your answer is No please tell us why?
    Because I don't take cycling as serious as that (it's meant to be fun) and there are a lot of free cycling websites, if one was to start charging then I'd move to another site.

    Question 5) If your answer were yes how much would you be willing to pay?
    NA

    Question 6) What would you expect from this service?
    NA

    Question 7) Would you be interested in meeting with others who you don't know to go cycling?

    Question 1) what age are you between?
    c) 40-50

    Question 2) why are you interested in cycling?
    a) Fitness b) Leisure (I also cycle to work most days, but I'm not interested in cycling because it's a way to get to work, rather cycling to work contributes to fitness and is enjoyable. It's almost as quick by public transport and I have a season ticket).

    Question 3) If there was a cycling website where you could do more than chat like this website would you be willing to pay an annual membership fee?
    The problem with this question and question 4 is that they effectively form a feedback loop with question 6... I can't say whether I'd be prepared to pay a fee without knowing what I would get from the service, and I can't say what I'd expect from the service without knowing how much it costs... So I would say that this is a problem with the survey design. Don't worry, most professional surveys I see also have some logical design flaws! Something to bring up with your tutors? :wink:

    Question 4) If your answer is No please tell us why?
    N/A, see above

    Question 5) If your answer were yes how much would you be willing to pay?
    a) £5.00 b) £10.00 c) £15.00
    see above.

    Question 6) What would you expect from this service?
    see above

    Question 7) Would you be interested in meeting with others who you don't know to go cycling?
    a) Yes

    question8) What kind of cycling activity to would interest you?
    a) Racing c) Leisure (I don't race yet but plan to)

    Question 9) How often do you cycle?
    a) Daily (mostly)
    This is also a tricky question for most keen cyclists, as almost all will cycle more often than once a week but most will not cycle every single day (rest days are good). It would be better to ask "how many days a week do you cycle on average?" and have several options (one of which could be "less than one").


    Question 10) where do you hear/read about cycling activities?
    a) Magazines c) Internet

    Question 11) are you a member of any specific cycling websites?
    a) Yes (please give any details that you wish, such as the names of the websites)
    This one, road cycling UK, road bike review
