Your selection of questions is strange. They go from broad to zeroing in on
pedals and tires. Why is that? If you want advice on pedals, ask. If you
want to know what tires people prefer, just ask. You don't have to hide what
you want among the vague questions....this doesn't look like a survey to me.

^^^^^^^^^^^^
I agree. Here are a few more questions to add to your list:

9. What color bicycle do you prefer?
10. Do you believe that the hub hangs from the top spokes, or stands on the
bottom spokes?
11. If you often ride against the traffic with a helmet, so you consider
yourself safer than riding with the traffic without a helmet?
12. How long do you usually ride, and how long is your bike?

QUOTE Currently, I am studying the presentation of self in cyberspace
by examining the signature files, and the cyberspace as a public sphere
by analyzing the communications in news groups./QUOTE

my guess is the intent of the OP is to study the group dynamics - why
not read the archive and do the study ??

googling around, i see lots of similar survey posts (to other groups)
from the same source...

+ravi

That is the lamest fake study
I've ever seen.

Back to the drawing board,
Professor Sneak.
