Bit of help needed for college brief, please

Posted on
  • Hiya. A friend of mine is doing a college brief, where she's been asked by Pashley to come up with a range of fashionable cycling gear. The idea is it has to be wearable on and off the bike. To do this she needs some info to identify her target group, which is where you guys come in. If you could find a minute to answer the following questions, it would be very much appreciated. Thanks, guys!

    -Mark

    Have you tried contacting the guvnorownersclub? Met a few of them - personable peeps.

    ...also some university was designing accessories for them, could be worth linking up with these lot mentioned here.

    Job: Editor
    Lifestyle: riding, sex, work, eating, drinking, dancing, magazines, music, snow, cooing at puppies
    What clothing do you wear whilst riding your bike: sports/hipster/semi appropriate business casual: leather Vans, waterproof Nike ACG jacket in bright but not hi vis colour, skinny jeans with water resistance coating, wool tops, helmet, gloves, stealth backpack, sometimes small tan leather satchel bag if going 'into Town'.
