Hey All,



Im recently new to this forum, having not been able to re login my old account. Although like me most people are petrolheads here( having got a real Mini ) , I thought with the vast wealth of people here it may be of help smile

Im currently undertaking a University project upon tackling the issues of cycling, whether it be to do with a bicycle layout design, or the actual journey undertaken within that Journey.

Im interested in all the types of cycling, and was wondering if you would be able to answer a few questions about the problems you face.

1. What is the bane of your experience with your bicycle? What is THE thing that you would like to see improved.

2. During your journey, whether that be for a social or commuting pleasure, are they're any problems that you face, that you would like to see resolved? Im thinking that road surface changes can be a big problem for daily commuters on fixed bicycles.

3. How do you store you bicycle when not in use? And how if you do, transport it? Are there problems during this, ie on a train or using a bicycle rack on a car?

4. How often do you keep a bicycle for before upgrading to a newer model, or carry out performance enhancing modifactions?

5. Safety - What are your concerns when riding? Im guessing rear impact and close passing cars are a big issue?

6. If you commute by bicycle, do you have problems with luggage? Im thinking that a backpack increases the centre of gravity of the bike, making it more unstable.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated, thankyou for taking to the time to read this smile
