commuting / getting from a to be implies a utilitarian point ti the journey.
The people that answered the question will always beable to find an answer. You don't know what the people who could not answer the questions would say as they will not answer the questionnaire. This means that due to the design you are large picking the people who will give you the answers you want by design.
Sorry I just don't know how you can get any meaningful statistics from some of these questions.
In my mind getting from a to b simply implies a start point and a destination. even if you go for a ride and turn back when you get tired/cold/bored i still count this. If you are really bothered about it i will edit that option to include "/long rides" and you can select that.
The fact that there are 3 options, two opposing and one neutral means that i am not steering the questionnaire towards a desired answer. Rather than simply not entering the questionnaire, people who wish to express an opinion other than those listed as an option can (and do) simply type what they want.
The data gathered will be analysed to see if any patterns emerge. The previous questionnaire thread which i started identified some strong trends and also some useful qualitative data about positive characteristics of fixed gear bikes (track or otherwise).
hang on, utilitarian? You mean the most pleasure for the most people? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utilitarianism*http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utilitarianism*

Just thought you might get a few more responses if you made it a bit easier for people. I know I'd prefer it.
I wasn't being sarcastic when i said thanks mate. It is the thought that counts, and i genuinely appreciate it.
I'm grateful anyone is taking the time to look at my thread, to be honest. I got a decent number of responses to the last one, too.

I think you have failed on this survey so despite the fact I would like to help I can't
Q2 needs a other or a long rides section
Q4 is far too blanket, depends on the bike.
Also it seem like you are falling into the fixed gear = track bike way of thought, which is wrong.
the purpose of Q2 is to determine if you take part in any of the activities listed. if not, that is fine, just make it clear. If you somehow manage to go on long rides without ever going rom a to b, i'm very impressed.
Q4 is fine thanks. No apologies for that one. Most people seem capable of expressing an opinion on the matter.
If i was assuming that fixed gear was equal to track bike i would have included "-velodrome" in Q2.

I think the self-defence thing only works if the 'perpetrator' is in the middle of trying to attack you when you swing d-lock at him
- e.g. you can't chase after him after he tries to attack you and bash his window in as he is making his getaway. Similarly, you can't slash his tyres if you see him parked up and claim that that is self defence.

if anyone is bored try some of these:
Hey did any of you push your eyeballs in until you hallucinated when you were kids? I used to do this for some reason and saw clouds of iridescent colourful light, through which it emerged that i was in a giant spherical room with brown patterned tiles on the walls and filled with various crazy crap.
Anybody? No?
