Dear Forum Members,

Currently I am working on my master thesis for Marketing and I would like to ask your assistance. My research is investigating key decision making factors of bike users online with the aim to improve online offerings of the major bike retailers. I am now reaching out to the most reputable forums in UK to run a quick survey (10-15 minutes) among the forum members to get the opinions.

I am offering 3 prizes of 100 euro each to the participants that will win a lottery (randomly assigned). I guess it can be a nice opportunity for you to determine how the future of bike retailing will look like, besides they can also win a nice prize

Looking forward to you reply. Thanks.

Regards,

    Well I completed the survey. Looking at the objectives you describe then you will not meet them with the range of questions you ask. You have completely ignored eBay for components and clothing - well actually everything, in your range of alternatives and have confused Halfords with an online shop - rather than a shop with a website. I really do hope that people will not click through the slider options because that will give a massive distortion. I suspect they will though. Good luck!
    ...take your pickelf on your holibobs.... :D

    jeez :roll:

    A fairly well thought out survey, although in some places I had to rewind through the questions as a question I was expecting to answer wasn't their and many I had to change previous answers to suite. I hope it gives you what you want.

    Fishy is clearly unaware that some Halfords stuff is online only with no option to buy in store.

    Started but lost interest when it got on to e-bikes. I just wouldn't buy one.

    Finished the survey. Have to agree with FishFish, eBay and local bike forum markets have a significant share of the market.

    Also, I'm from Asia, I'm only familiar with Amazon and Giant Bikes. So there's that question of how far these on-line companies wanted to reach. Hope that helps.

    Apparently you have all the results you need. It won't let me do it :)
