The word <em>wygoda</em> translates simplistically as comfort, in the sense of convenience and quality. Contrast with <em>osłoda</em> which is more about emotional wellbeing, and <em>pociechy</em>, which is equivalent to reassurance. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17959#post-255809 Mon, 24 Jul 2017 16:25:34 +0000 gembo 255809@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I don't think meant to be taken literally as crucial.

Probably better if they had stationed a couple of researchers at either end of a shared use path and asked the opinions of people using it. Sometimes an online survey just isn't the way to go. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17959#post-255795 Mon, 24 Jul 2017 13:56:14 +0000 Ed1 255795@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"worst designed survey ever.<br /> I gave up."<br /> I also thought that and gave up, may try again later.</p> <p>If I want to vary the comfort level I let air out my tyres or avoid bumps. If the route was as uncomfortable as cobbles then I may take another route.</p> <p>The use of the word "comfort" without reference to what this means does not give me a lot of comfort </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17959#post-255794 Mon, 24 Jul 2017 13:48:21 +0000 dessert rat 255794@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>worst designed survey ever.<br /> I gave up. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17959#post-255792 Mon, 24 Jul 2017 13:38:29 +0000 gembo 255792@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I have pointed out some of the flaws in the methodology already - though I like that you have to watch films of two shared use paths (*unfortunately one on a wet day when the ridges are perp and one on a sunny day when parallel, not sure this is actually part of it, however leaving the wheelchair in shot when not in use is probably something that could have been avoided.
