Hi there. I'm looking for a little help in a new project being researched for an indoor Mountain Bike and BMX Park in or around London.

If you live in or around London and can spare 5 mins to fill in this survey then it be enormously appreciated. Many thanks

    I can't think of any reason I'd want to ride in a shed.
    And wtf is the question on ethnic background all about?

    Done, would be very interested in such a place. Don't get much time, it's a big effort to head outwards from London to a decent spot what with uni work and such, somewhere within London like this would be great.

    Frequency of use would obviously vary depending on how accessibleit was and affordable (I'm a poor student, honest) but I can really see it being a big hit down there. Know a fair few students who would use such a place too, will send them the link to the survey.

    Im sure there was a thread about something similar some while ago.

    I think the conclusion was that to purchase a warehouse of sufficient size would be way to expensive for a business model to work especially when you're main customers would be kids who could only afford a couple of quid entry fee.

    Good luck though it would be brilliant if you could get it to all work out

    Here you go just did a quick search and found the link for you

    I'm primarily XC if rather slow! i.e. no racer.

    I struggle to see why I'd use such a service.

    Swinley is £2 a shot or £25 a year, let alone Surrey Hills and so on.

    For what style of riding to provide for. Everyone knows white men can't jump.

    I read a thing about Ray's parks in the US, they do sound pretty fun.
