    This is what happens when young grad students design a survey!
    I never wear a kilt. Oh never mind.

    Ugh.

    @cycledesigner: as a graduate student, you should know to do some research *before* putting together a survey. So poorly done and showing absolute lack of knowledge of the target market. Thoughtless on other dimensions: e.g., frequency of cycling: jump from daily to 1-5 times per months (about once per week)? And, I will guess, after planting the link in various forums, you probably do not bother to read any comments on the survey...

    The last option was "more than 20 times". I guess that means "per month" and would fill the gap between "daily" and "1-5 times per month". It was down at the bottom and I almost missed it.

    I'm not competitive or professional, so I guess I'm out

    My issues:
    - The age listings only go up to age 60. I suppose there aren't many competitive cyclists over 60, but I do know at least one triathlete that is, and she's fast.
    - "Education" jumps straight from high school to bachelor's degree. Some of us hold certificates and diplomas from poly-technical colleges, and some women are in the trades. Where is the choice for something like journeyman electrician?
    - Why limit it to competitive or professional level, especially if there are questions about preferring indoor or outdoor training (really, a bike racer would train mostly indoors?) and riding for fun with family?

    I occasionally compete, but no one will ever call me competitive

    And yes, I wear my team's kit with the terrible shorts that are good for 15 miles max.
