Hi all,
It seems our front page polls are proving popular. There's a few hundred votes a day appearing, regardless of topic.

By all means feel free to send me ideas for future polls – and to suggest obvious answers that I've missed out. Post here or email me.

There's a new one up now by the way. 🙂

This post is here for the 19% of readers who ticked the 'You never offer the choice I'd go for' button on the current poll… So far, no one's been in touch. No one… 😛

ice cold beer!

Tea and biscuits. followed by any of the list.

could have one on "do you ever look at the home page ?"

… oh 😳

There is a home page?

Beer's a food yeah?

yep, Beer is a food, they come from hops, and they are green. My Mum always told to me to eat my greens. Falling off the bike has taken a few teeth out, so I prefer to drink my greens 😀

Bacon butties was the obvious thing to miss off the post ride food list

Bacon butties are for before the ride, surely? That's why rides from my house never start until gone 11am… 🙂

Next poll topic will be:
Mountain bikes should be made from:
Steel
Aluminium
Carbon
Bamboo

Sound OK to everyone? Suggestions always welcome… It's your website too.
And there seems to be a fair number of people who know there's a front page – but if you don't visit it it, you get to miss all the news, so it's up to you.

flax

Ti

Haribo

Bacon butties post ride, with the prospect of a lamb tikka balti when I get home. yum

Mountain bikes should be made from:

Anything provided it works.

Option for other …followed by free text would be interesting…I do these polls and am always normal/ with the majority would be an interesting audiance to segment!

Re: post ride food, my food of choice is usually crisps. And chocolate. Or wine gums. Or chicken fried rice 😛

Best post ride food after a long ride is a double burger, cheese, bacon, chocalate all eaten in about 5 mins, i have tried therse here recovery drinks/food but nothing hits the spot like a burger, my idea for a poll would be about cycle clothing and do we as cyclists always wear the right gear ie, mtb or road, or just w ride in hatever comes to hand, it may of been done already though

How about an 'Are you man enough to wear shorts all year?' poll

Answers

Yes, I'm hard as nails
Yes, but waterproof ones when it's wet
No, Longs when the temp falls below 10 degrees
No, longs all year (I have delicate legs)
I ride naked

Nice one Cheesy – I'd have to add 3/4s to that lot too. And kneewarmers.
Goose fat? 🙂

Fav after booze

Ale
Lager
Cider
Whisky
Babycham

What are you going to do with the results of all the polls?

Market research for better targeted advertising, I'd surmise.

By all means feel free to send me ideas for future polls

How many bikes do you have? (Given the high proportion of Singlespeeders on this forum, count one for each gear)…

or…

My Mountain bike is mainly
1) used for commuting
2) ridden at the weekend
3) ornamental
4) a fashion statement
5) a laundry stand

or…
What is the best MTB magazine? 😉

@Chipps

I'm not sure if it's something I'm doing wrong, but I can't ever seem to vote on the polls, as an error message tells me I've 'already voted' for each poll, when I haven't.

[/thread hijack]

Put up a poll on a few of the suggestions that have been posted and have a vote! 💡

Surely Fish and Chips should be on that poll, a must in Malton after Dalby, oh and a battered sausage for the dog please!

There's a new poll up about riding to work – what's the 10% answer that we've not included in the answers then?

Working from home?

I usually do, but get a lift half way and then pedal the rest when I do have to go in.

You're mostly covered under "Yes, then train/lift/other (3%, 4 Votes)"
And working from home means you don't ride a bike to work then, doesn't it? 🙂

working on a bike?

i'm joining Eldrik with his hijack above. Whenever I vote it tells me I can't because I already have. Is there a the cure?

How about how important is fitness to you?

Must be able to ride 6+hr epics 24hr races etc
happy to push to a big ride every so often
enjoy 3-4hr rides no need for more
