Sorted - I did quite liked the option to say never voted for tories and never will...
Not sure how a hybrid driving petrolhead who likes cycling fits into the target audience but what the hell.
could have done with some proof-reading. And seemed more like a poll by a guy down the pub than a rational survey.
That was fun. I could answer honestly, and still completely bugger up his results 😎
I may have shared it on a couple of cycling FB groups
Bah!
Never got the chance to do it, says survey has been closed.
Looks like the OP request to help bugger up the survey has been successful
Hopefully they will republish it again we can help bugger it up again
Good work cyclists!

I made use of the comments section to point out I'd never forgive them for Brexit, should cause some additional frothing.
Cox appears to be perhaps alarmed by the amount of response from cyclists. I suspect that's why the survey has ended.

Shame he closed it, I was just going to have another shot.
Is he all there is of fair fuel UK or does he have friends?
Er, one at least. That walloper Quentin Wilson. Yeah, him with the comb over and pleather bomber jacket who used to present TopGear. I'd never by a BEV off that spiv.

Not sure about his tweet. I filled it in as a Tory voting motorist who supports cycle lanes, extra tax and EVs. The plan was to mess it up right 🙂
Sadly, when I tried it said the survey had been withdrawn! Shame, I’d have liked to have modified this particular bit:
“UNELECTED SPECIAL ADVISORS IN NO 10 ARE INFLUENCING THE ROLL OUT OF CYCLE LANES bit of a mess THAT IS BREXIT”
Ok, anyone like to guess what word was replaced by ‘bit of a mess’? 🤣
Unfortunately missed the chance to participate, I do however have a short survey of my own for Mr Cock:
A: Have you ever had a job collecting refuse on Wimbledon Common?
B: Do you have an uncle named after a country in the Balkans?
Ok, anyone like to guess what word was replaced by ‘bit of a mess’? 🤣
Oooh, ooh, I know!
Is it shitshow?

Haha! I did exactly the same and thought the same!😁
According Mr Cox 10% of survey was completed by cyclists. But if the other 90% have hate towards cyclists and cyclelanes, that will be what gets presented from the survey. Probably need a counter survey set up by a cycling group
Great effort by the OP.
It worked for me just now. Is he putting it out again and scrapping the last one to get rid of the cyclists replies? Everyone do it again?
I filled it I honestly - primary transport is LGV. So I go down as a cycling supporting motorist. So not in his 10%
It's back up apparently
Edit - but won't let me back in to have another go
Redone, with added vigour this time.
Edit – but won’t let me back in to have another go
InPrivate Mode may help 😉
Private worked for me 👍
Done. As a daily Transit van driver due to being in the building game I’d love you all to be on bikes in segregated cycle lanes. Bloody Guardian reading builders, who knew!
And I would like all van drivers to be in segregated van driving lanes but there you go.
On this extremely bleak Friday you wonderful people have brought some much needed levity. I'd buy you all a pint, well done.
Done. My van driving alter ego from Ipswich has offered him some advice as well. And warned him about GDPR
Done.
Done
Done.
Up the pedallistas!
Done!
Vive la revolution.
Done. What an awful, devisive survey.
Done
Done again.
This is a great game. Well done OP.
I love this tweet
He seems to think that ‘cyclists’ don’t also drive, or that the survey has attracted more ‘cyclists’ than the ‘proportion who cycle’ 🤣
They must be happy with the survey that they’re welcome to complete
Passive-aggression noted.
I am up to about 10 completed surveys. I'm now making it les obvious that I am a cyclist and more like I am their target Brexity Daily Mail reading, HGV driving angry victim, but with the twist that I fully support cycling and sustainable travel. I'm enjoying this more than I should.
I filled it in, but I'm tempted to ask "What's the point".
Its not like this gammony fool is going to do anything with the survey data if it doesn't point in the direction of his biases

That's what I've been doing, completing it as a driver only, and excitedly commenting how once we're free of the shackles of Europe the Government can ban school Mum run drivers, the lazy etc from driving, put up road tax (obvs. calling it road tax too) leaving the road free for us hardworking tax payers WHO MUST DRIVE. The rest of them should get on their bike.
I'm pleased at how open and inclusive towards other users the answers from my Tory voting, car mad alter ego are 😀
Done and i really enjoyed it
I replied to his tweet. Popular as it has been, given that I seem to be the third person to do so.

Done, avoided the urge to go full ranting lefty, tempting as it was.
Went for 'sensible middle class driver who needs his car for transport but wants to ride safely with his kids and may be persuaded to vote Tory if they had a long term vision for sustainable transport.'
I suspect that will throw their results far more than any 'CARS R COFFINZ" style rant.
Also took great plasure in pointing out that in terms of the prices of goods, the impending costs of Brexit will make any reduction in fuel duty a rather pointless drop in the bucket so why bother?
Apparently gammon@brexit.lager is a genuine email address...
And I would like all van drivers to be in segregated van driving lanes but there you go.
Kind of missing the point when I’m not in my van I’m on my bike and would like to be segregated off. Hurray it’s Friday anyway.
Done.
Utterly pointless and I couldn't even answer some of the non-cycle related questions accurately or honestly.
Viewing it in the fairest light possible, it presumes a degree of open-mindedness, possession of facts and 'seeing it both ways' on the part of the great British driver. So doomed to fail basically.
wow, is it me or were there a lot of cycling questions? 😀
now how long until he tweets again asking all the nasty cyclists to stop picking on him......
