Hi,

I’m studying product design and technology at Brighton University and for my final design project, I am looking to address both comfort on the bicycle, and prevention of chronic illnesses as a result of cycling.

Specifically I am looking into our interaction with the saddle, and how this area could perhaps be the cause of unreported injuries and therefore improved.

If you could perhaps take two minutes to fill out this brief survey, and due to the perhaps sensitive nature of the discussion, please be assured the results are completely anonymous and will be used in the context of my academic work, and won’t be shared with any other party.

Thank you for taking the time to read this, and hopefully completing my questions. If you wish to discuss it further or have any queries please don’t hesitate to message me.

Cheers!

Ben Freeman

Done.

FYI
Seemed strange to have minor and chronic injury as part of same question
I ride a Boris bike every day (10 mins) but MTB 1-3 hours at weekends, answered saddle question on that basis

Thanks Jambalaya.

Yes, I am not at the stage in my research to isolate major and minor health issues yet, so just want to include any conditions at this stage, but I may reword that question slightly.

Also regarding the saddle question, as the majority of people I am asking to fill this in only own one bicycle, its perhaps not worded that well for guys like all of you on here.

Thanks again.
Ben

My wallet is seriously damaged

I answered that question re saddles under other, tried and put same saddle on all my bikes on the basis of comfort.

Thankyou both for your answers.

Are you editing it now?

Cant be editing it now, its before 7am, no student would be awake at this time! 😆

Maybe doing it after the pub, before bed!

Apologies, closed it to change a few typos and it takes up to 24 hours to reopen on the free version. Should now be open for any more answers. Thanks again to anyone who’s contributed.

My will to live is often compromised by the STW forum. Is this something you are willing to look into, or should I seek specialist help? 😕

Done.
