Shameless Promotions. - Cycling survey
Bikeforums.net is a forum about nothing but bikes. Our community can help you find information about hard-to-find and localized information like bicycle tours, specialties like where in your area to have your recumbent bike serviced, or what are the best bicycle tires and seats for the activities you use your bike for.
Dear Cyclists,
I am conducting a study on cyclists training profiles in the Department of Physiology in Trinity College Dublin (Ireland). I would very much appreciate if you could take a few minutes to complete a suvrey I have posted at

Your survey seems to have been moved to
"Shameless Promotions!"
I STRONGLY object to everyone over 65 being lumped into one category. Your bias is showing. I will not complete the survey based on this defect.

By having everyone over 65 in one category, you have:
1. Denigrated those over 65 as if they don't really matter, and age differences in exercising after 65 are really of no interest to you.
2. You may be missing important information, i.e., we have a person on this forum who is 84, rides 2,000 miles per year with one leg. Your survey would never pick up that he is 84, and he might as well be 65.

and on the opposite side of the spectrum everyone from 1 to 18 is classed in the same group meaning they have really no care for the physical activities of young teens either, even if i fill out the survey For all they know im 3 years old.

Absolutely. So, why in the world would you include them? Just start at 18 and end at 65, if that is all you care about.
Another poorly designed PhD study.
