Well done to ALL posters
It soon became useful and entertaining. There are regular posters, people who add useful info occasionally and plenty more who drop by to watch. That's fine. If you want to add news/comments it's easy to register and become a member.
RULES No personal insults. No swearing.
resolvedI am currently developing cycle storage and am in the process of gathering information with regards to cyclists views/attitudes on the subject - this will then be used to form the basis of a future design. I would be extremely grateful if you would complete this short survey http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/2VFW5DK
Many thanks!
I'd be happy to fill out a survey on storage, but would be interested to know the relevance of the first question and what bearing one might expect it to have on the rest of the questions.
done
If you select 'Other (please specify)' in Q3 then you can't proceed with the survey...
Hi Andy
I have quite a bit of experience of survey design and you might find the following tips useful:
First pages - Include descriptive text explaining who you are, the purpose of the survey and what you intend to do with the results. Most importantly - give some assurances around confidentiality of responses.
Q1 - biographic detail usually goes at the end of s survey, put this up first and it puts people off from completing the survey, put it last and most people will fill it in.
Q2 - Might want to ask what floor flat people live in and include "terrace", "maisonette" etc.
Q3 - Would include "communal stair", "communal green/garden"
Q4 - Outline what you mean by bicycle storage - it could range from a hook to some fancy shed.
Q7 - I normally use five options, allows people to express a middle, neutral view
Q9 - I would re-word this to something like "If you ever experienced problems with bike storage can you explain what these were and how you overcame therm?" This will let you understand what problems cyclists have, how they solved their problem and whether you could sell a commercial version of this solution. In my experience we are a fairly inventive bunch.
I'm sure others could provide better assistance than me.
Hope this helps - good luck.
Morningsider - these are all very good points. Perhaps, my only issue would be - providing a 5-point Likert scale in a normal population is likely to yield results closer to the middle point?. I would still always go with Likert (or an odd as opposed to even number of options myself]. As this is not a normal population [I mean our forum] I found the survey quick and easy. If Andy is going to use it outwith this forum you have given him some sound advice that he should donate some money to charity as payment for.
Thank you all for your feedback - really useful and I'll certainly act upon some of the points raised.
Arrellcat - Q1 is to provide a better picture of who the target audience is and how the answers vary between the different groups.
miggy_magic - Thanks for letting me know!
Morningsider - As above I agree with much of what you suggest and will use this in due course..
In addition to Morningsider's sensible suggestions, I would also recommend doing a test-run of any survey to iron out any potential confusions.
