Hi,
I am doing research into commuting in general for University and would really appreciate if anyone could spare a few minutes and send the attached questionnaire back to me. (the file was too big so I had to take away the tickboxes so if you can just put an 'x' or number as required next to the answer)
Cheers
Libby
ps. if you cannot forward it to me I would be grateful if you would let me know so I can change it!

I did not try, but putting .doc files on the net and trusting that:
A) you do not have a virus or
B) I do not put a virus in
is just a bit too much in this day and age...

You may want to try a different format or method.

Sorry.

Sounds promising.


My username is my real name. You can send me email through this forum.

This sounds like marketing BS if you ask me. You should pay us for the "research" if that is what it's for.

Libby doesn't seem to intent on replying...

FYI - I just used #3 post this thread to cut and paste, not a .doc file

then...i just used the libby email from forum profile, yet you are correct in wondering for what purpose.
libby??

Ok sorry, but I didnt really think that people would be happy about putting information about themselves onto a public forum. So a word file seemed the only way...it doesnt seem to be working anyway so its cool, but you could have just copied and pasted into an e-mail. I did just think that a cycling forum would be the best place to contact cyclists, u know? I am actually in university so don't think I can afford to pay people for the information but really you don't have to fill it out if you don't want to! Thanks anyway
