Are we allowed another 'today's rubbish...' thread?
I was sent a link to a survey by Cyclescheme yesterday. It was mainly marketing, but it included a range of top questions (all mandatory), including:
1) "Do you ever cycle with family and friends?" - options 'yes/no/occasionally'. What's the difference between 'yes' and 'occasionally'?
2) "I smoke less since I started cycling" - options ranged from strongly agree to strongly disagree. No others. I had to put that I strongly disagreed, because I absolutely don't smoke any less than I did before.
3) "I drink less since I started cycling". Same options. I had to disagree again, because I actually drink quite a bit more now, in order to replace the fluids I sweat out. Even if I wasn't being so pedantic, how do I use this scale to say that I drink the same amount of alcohol. Presumably I have to disagree? Is that really the answer they want?
4) "Which of the following do you buy?". Options were "gels, energy bars, vitamin supplements, other (specify)" . There was no 'not applicable' option. I had a sense of humour failure at this point and wrote in the 'other' box "This is a stupid question because you're asking me to specify everything else I buy".
For reasons that are now beyond me, I didn't give up on this.
