Hi guys, I am in my final year as a sport and exercise student at Staffordshire University conducting research for my dissertation. If you are devoted cyclist who trains hard and races even harder, an individual that rides a bike just for fun or somebody who attends the gym, I need you! Please help me by filling in this short 10 minute survey, it would be much appreciated.
After you have filled out the survey there is a information sheet detailing what the research is trying to find out, if you are intrested or have a questions dont hesitate in contacting me.

You do know that cycling makes your knees shake, your mouth dry and, if you push yourself hard enough, feint?
You are going to end up with some weird @ss results.

If your struggling to tick answers try clicking on the text of the answer next to it. It's a common problem with these forms in some browsers. I know as I provide first line support to users of our websites that use these forms for competitions.0

Done last night. Given that I'm in Helsinki, the time of year will have had a bit of an impact on the way I answered.. I gave my summer mileage rather than my current indoor trainer mileage, and to be honest, no-one here is ecstatically cheerful in January..0

As a psychologist and a cyclist, this survey interested me, but I think its design might mean it won't generate very helpful data. It asked me how many times I cycle a week, how many miles I cover, how many hours etc - I suspect that I'm not alone in being rather influenced by the time of year. At this time of year, most of my cycling is in the gym, or restricted to a single Saturday ride, so because I completed the survey today, I put just once a week. But in a few months time, this same cyclist will put four or five times a week, as I get out more when the weather gets better. Should your survey categorise my responses as associated with an infrequent/occasional cyclist or a keen committed one?
Also as the other posters have put, it does rather focus the user on negative mood, and seems likely to cause the reader to over report this. This is an example of focusing illusion. There's a lovely study with German students that asked them How satisfied are you? and then How many dates have you had recently (in the last month, I think it was). With the questions presented in that order, there was no correlation between the two results. But with the questions presented in the other order, How many dates have you had recently? How satisfied are you? the two answers were correlated. In other words, by focusing the respondents on how many dates they had recently had, it altered the way in which they responded to the next question. I rather felt that your survey focused me on the negative elements of recent experience, increasing my report of them and therefore potentially skewing results?
Good on you for attempting to investigate this, but I suspect your conclusions will need to be very heavily contextualised.0
