formatting these questions would make people more likely to take your survey!

putting them in an html form would make people even MORE likely to take your survey!

2. 22
3. male
4. e
5. c
6. yes
7. b
8. d
9. b
10. yes (bike team, actually)
11. no
12. yes
13. fixedgearfever.com

offering free beer or bike parts would be even better

12. b (if this forum counts)
13. You're here, dude.

There are a bunch of sites that let you build surveys online - you might check into them, as they'd aggregate the data for you. If you need some help making up just a basic one, send me a PM - I could probably set you up something over the weekend.

Are you going to share the results with us?

1. Milwaukee
2. 22
3. a
4. Curioisty
5. 4
6. b
7. c
8. e
9. a and e
10.b
11. a (does this count?)
12. a
13. no

For all that are replying I want to thank you. For all that don't have the time and want an easier way to answer the survey like an html or custom form I will look into that soon. Sorry for my limited computer skills. Thank you for viewing my thread though.

Hey everyone, Burkenaut is a friend of mine, and due to his severe lack of computer skills, I decided to help him out.

Take this survey, cause he's a standup guy, and pretty much the only other guy I know in my town that rides a fixie.

CLICK HERE FOR SURVEY! DO IT! YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO! PBR FOR EVERYONE!

it's in the mail... I swear...

I hope your sample includes non-bikeforums.net members otherwise the location for everyone
will be the same...near a computer.

and seriously that survey format hurts my eyes. try printing up something proper and puting 'em in bike shops. Good luck with your paper it sounds a lot more fun than mine was ("A Review of Advanced Cognitive Modeling Techniques in Enterprise Information Architecture: or Yyyyaaawwwwwnnnn")

Edit: Woops! ignore! Nice friends

Survey Done. Please post the results and your paper. Should be an interesting read.

Done!

It sounds interesting. What is the premise of your research? Sociological?

All that's needed now is a new hipster thread, and today/tonight will constitute the Internet version of the "perfect storm."

Thank you for the interest. My research is geography based. It is the gravitation of fixies to metropolitan areas and the reason(s) why.

Thank you for your interest Cynikal. I will definately update everyone with my findings and paper. Thanks again

Thank you everyone for being so helpful in my research. I will be running this research for the next month and a half. If you could refer friends or oth fixed gear riders to my survey I would be very appreciated. I think it is fantastic that I have gotten quite a few questions of the nature of my research. To answer, once I have finished my paper and research I would be more than happy to share my findings and research. I will post for you all how to get it.
Thanks again. Referals are great.

Don't I get a free PBR tattoo or something?

look everyone a fun time taking a survey

done.

i still hate "fixie"

DONE. I took it. where did it go?

Do you mean the word "fixie". Let me know a better label you think.

It went into a database that compikle my data so I am able to filter it to look into patterns. Thank you for helping me.

ah don't sweat it, it's just me. "fixie" makes my skin crawl. as does "tastemaker" and the word "sophomore" used where second would have sufficed. also "fast forward to…" — ugh! "flash forward to…" makes me want to murder.

im with Eddiebrennan on this one
