Hello MTB,

We are a group of final year engineering students at the University of Brighton, and are working on a group project designing a new bike lock. Searching through this forum, I have seen that there are lot of experienced riders, many of whom fit our target audience perfectly! We would be really grateful if you could take a quick moment to answer the 10 questions on our tick box survey it would really help us a lot with our report. Thank you very much in advance!

Kind Regards,

Alec

    Done.
    Not as badly written as 90% of the student surveys posted on here.

    Actually a decent questionnaire for once, other than the fact I couldn't complete it as I don't have a lock.

    That's worrying :wink:

    Good survey but I couldn't fill it in as I don't own a lock either!!!

    I do own a lock from when I had a motorbike, but I don't leave my MTB anywhere, it's either at home, in my van or with my arse on it. I ride a less valuable bike if im riding into town.

    Not another bloody survey?
    Except I can't even moan about the spelling and pidgin English, rather disappointed actually so I tried doing the survey.
    Only problem is I don't leave my mountain bike(s) locked up anywhere, and use a rubbish hack bike if I am going to.
    Although being grown up I have a car.
    I don't do smileys.

    A question or two on the type of bike people are prepared to lock up would be useful.

    I have MTB and road bike worth about a grand each but I never lock them up anywhere apart from occasionally on the car rack.

    The only bike I ever lock up in a public place is my '94r Saracen Kilicomp.
    You only need two tools: WD40 and Duck Tape.
    If it doesn't move and should, use the WD40.
    If it shouldn't move and does, use the tape.

    Done. If I lock my bike it is for very short periods of time with two big locks. Had someone try to cut through my D lock before they couldn't so they kicked the wheels in instead.
