I'm a bit embarrassed that cyclists have responded in quite such an unfriendly way just because someone said something that looks a bit ill-founded.
I don't think previous responses were unfriendly.
This would be unfriendly:
Hi,
I looked at your previous surveys and nothing in them or your subsequent posts has given me any impression that the surveys themselves are anything other than a box ticking exercise that you have to undertake as part of your ‘degree’. As such you've pretty much been wasting the time of anyone who has responded to you. Thanks for that.
You also closed surveys before you had gathered enough responses to be statistically relevant (I design qualitative and quantitative data surveys and yours have been neither). Thanks for that too.
I suspect you pretty much had the product idea before you started the process and have designed the ‘survey process’ to fit it.
Well done for:
a) Trying to make cycling appear less safe than it actually is.
b) Raising the entry level costs of cycling.
At the end of this process you might come up with a great product (and good luck to you with that) but you could easily have done that without wasting our time or pretending to engage with us.
Care to refute my impressions with a decent data interpretive report on your surveys?
