Cycling monitors/ computers

Georgeee30

Hi guys!

We are currently researching into the popularity of cycling monitors/ computers for our university project and personal research.
If you could reply with answers to these questions it would be a MASSIVE help!

1. ​​Do you use a cycling computer to help you when you ride?
2. If so, where did you buy it from?
3. How did you hear about cycling computers?
4. Are you a 'professional' cyclist?

Thanks!

1. Yes.
2. Leisure lakes
3. Constant evolution. When I was a kid we had the little wheel clicker mileometer. They developed to speedos, then went basic electronic up to the tech-heavy GPS ones we use now.
4. No.

I do feel there are some more obvious questions - what web sites do you upload to, what do you use it for - live in ride data or post ride data analysis? Do you race? navigation? updating family on location for reassurance you are safe?

1. Yes. (Although mine is technically a multisport watch)
2. Internet/ Amazon
3. I'm a geek - but this covers most of it - Constant evolution. When I was a kid we had the little wheel clicker odometer. They developed to speedometers/odometer, then went basic electronic up to the tech-heavy GPS ones we use now.
4. No.

1. ​​Yes.
2. Amazon
3. I've had one on my bikes for the past 20 years.
4. No.

I also agree that your questions are very basic and of limited use. Other questions you could ask: what function(s) do you make the most use of and which ones do you find the most/least useful.
