    If this is for school work, I would go away and think about how you have worded some of the questions. For example, the very first question: How often do you ride? How do you quantify 'often', as what I may consider riding often maybe another persons rarely.
  • I'm not answering on here - too much work and I'm a very busy (lazy) man. :wink:

    Sorry, but that is a disaster....

    No-one rides 'all the time' we need to sleep at least 6 hours a day!

    Biggest buying factor for me is cost, an answer not offered, it went downhill (no pun intended) from there.....

    Done, with some lies. Well quite a lot actually.
    The bit about the tutu is true however.

    Done, but it's an epic fail.

    When did price become a complete irrelevance in a purchasing decision?

    Badly written questions, not worth answering the survey.

    Having just reached 50 I feel offended that the age range "stops" at 45+.

    As long as I park my zimmer frame next to the bike I can get on OK.

    It's still badly written as many have pointed out. For example question 3 misses out a big factor for some people to why they buy their clothes. The price. Then people buy certain items of the clothing for the performance, such as waterproof jackets, base layers, etc.

    And what the hell do you mean 'in nature' with the last question?

    Well, you're currently located in the woods, don't you feel like you're in nature?
