  • skydancer, isnt lynchman an anime?

  • Done.
    Agree need to be more options for why to cycle. Mine are to not have to get public transport, enjoyment of cycling itself, makes food taste better.

  • Good survey. Done

  • Evidently you don't want to hear from 50year olds who don't live in London?

  • Could MC23 not be multiple choice?

    Crying out for All of the Above/None of the Above options ...

    And the next question, on distraction, surely depends too much on the individual - I think we all know people who, in a car, look at the satnav screen not through the windscreen in front of them.

  • Remembered also the perceived danger question being difficult because the range of things covered wide range of:

    1. Likelihood of encountering danger (lorries=several times a journey, cars, peds= all the time, black ice= a couple of times a year)
    2. Severity of injury if something happens (lorries=lots lots lots, peds=not so much)
    3. Likelihood of something happening per risk encounter (cars=hopefully extremely rare, black ice=quite likely)

    I'm sure there are proper terms for this stuff. But a single scale of "which is more dangerous" didn't work for me.

  • Aye, that too

    I think the 'proper terms' are just severity/impact, and likelihood/probability: it would be nice to have some recognition of confidence/ability to mitigate the problem as well.

  • Surveys in bloom'n difficult to get right shocker

    Especially when you aren't a pro. researcher. It's tough.

    We also can't see the objectives of the research - some of things that make us think 'huh' might be designed in.

  • Yeah it's a good effort and interesting. My comments meant as (hopefully) constructive feedback, rather than complaints.

  • Its all about the CAT..

  • Evidently you don't want to hear from 50year olds who don't live in London?

    What is this 'don't live in London' you speak of?

  • Done.

    Good survey, 9/10 would read again.

  • Screened out.

    Would have been good to know you don't want to hear from leisure cyclists before I started the survey.

    Some of us are not city / office based and have to drive.

  • Hello Grubby, We would love to hear from leisure cyclists, but this survey screening mechanism is not customizable, it works as either in or out. We are attempting to single out anybody that uses two wheels as a main mode of transportation, basically people that would grab the bike to get around here and there, but lets say every once in a while grab a cabby or the tube in nights when they get hammered etc..

    Once you adopt cycling as a main transportation mode, your mind and senses wraps around it, and you have much better control of hazards.

    For example, people who went hiatus on motorcycling or pedal cycling, for years and came back to ride one after some breaks were had a much higher risk of being involved in an accident.

    we want to design something that cyclists can use as a weapon to their disposal, to stop IJH (it just happened!) type of accidents by giving them a headstart and informing them what hazards are ahead, and it is other cyclists that can place hazard warnings and severity for others. In short, its like a hazard collaborative platform for cyclists.

    Say you ride to your home and notice someone left out a huge diesel spill (some truck or car), and you lost control but thankfully survived, and you decide to add the hazard and set up its definition (type of hazard, severity etc..). Other guys who will take the same road, can utilize this and you could end up saving someone's life as a result.

    Others who pass by weeks later may notice hazard is no longer in place, and can remove it from the road. So it's a collaborative platform we are trying to create, but the question is how? we donot want to distract you as a cyclist, and this is the challenge.

  • Orko42 thank you so much, and a big thank you to the LFGSS community, without them we wouldn't have gone anywhere.

  • I will be disappointed if this ends without someone marrying someone.
