Cycling Power and Demographics

Sports Tech Review

Hello,

I am looking for some help from the cycling community, I am co-ordinating a study that investigates the correlation between power output and cyclist demographics. I have put together a short survey, and I would be very grateful if you could take the time to fill it in – it shouldn’t take more than a couple of minutes!

It is hosted by ‘Survey Monkey’ and can be accessed at the following link:

Unfortunately I have nothing to offer other than my thanks!

Do you expect commuters and 'potter about' cyclists to know their FTP?
I'm guessing just over half of the users on this forum have a reasonable idea.

I'm a pretty keen cyclist but I have absolutely no idea what my ftp is, no way of finding out and no great interest in the result.
I don't expect I'm alone.

I guess some kind of estimate can be gleaned from Strava but you're going to have to give people some help or better still, ask for a link to a suitable Strava ride (if they have such a thing) and then you can do the maths

No idea of my FTP, can I use the power from Strava?

I thought FTP was a method of copying a file from A to B, literally never heard of it in cycling terms!
