The harsher the better, I'll take into serious account many of the posted ideas. As I said, I did, for the most part, just write down questions and answers. I figured there would be bias, and knew many of the questions would need to be tweaked. I was pretty burned out from research and whatnot...

Awesome, thanks for the input. I wrote the survey mostly as a top-of-my-head sort of deal. You have some great ideas and I'll modify it accordingly..... When, that is, I can get my hands on some respectable internet. I feel like I'm probably getting less than 56k at my apartment right now.

@Boeing I agree 100%, however, that's a survey for a different time :P @Teamskyfans, Ninety5rpm Mistypes or errors when I copied over from my openoffice document, will fix immediately.

I am writing a research paper for my university on the topic of bike lanes in major cities. I have composed a short little survey targeted at cyclists, and figured you guys would be the perfect audience for it. It's only 10 questions, with room for feedback. Also, any feedback left here will be...

As was said, electronic. I also am a fan of Ratatat on the trainer. During heavy sprints I turn on Exogenesis Symphony by Muse. Though that might just be me...

My name is Floyd Landis, and I was sold EPO, HGH, tar slicks, and caltrops by everyone in this thread.

The comments on the article are definitely interesting, not 100% sure what they represent. It definitely said the collision was head on, so the way I see it somebody fudged up BAD.

Assuming that since I wasn't doping, my performance shouldn't be increased above normal levels. Upon my return to cycling I'd get stronger and faster than ever before, as well as following a very strict testing regimen that I would voluntarily make available for public viewing, all the while...

For a while I did, I suppose. Now my goal is to race successfully at the highest level where doping doesn't take the spotlight. (That also gives me a nice fallback excuse!) Regardless, I think I'd give it a shot, at least. Curiosity is a demon and I think it'd be nice to be pro, if only for a...

Awesome. Thank you all for all the advice, I'll certainly implement it as the season gets closer. And maybe I'll have to give cross skiing a shot, I've always found it to be pretty fun. Thanks again!

I'll definitely check out a CAAD9 then, though I'll probably give a whole bunch of bikes a spin when I actually have some money. Also, thanks for the racing suggestion. I should have elaborated that I didn't plan to just start jumping into racing, but that is a really nice guideline. Blah, I...

Wow! Thanks for the input everyone. I definitely got more than I expected - lots of useful information and such. Another thing. I don't suppose it has to do gear, with but how difficult are lower level races generally? I imagine it varies from place to place and whatnot, but is there some...

Hi there, I suppose this could serve as something of an introduction. Anyhow, I'm 17 and I got into cycling about 2 years ago doing solo road rides on an awful department store mountain bike. Nowadays I ride an old Giant road bike that I bought off a friend for $40. I realized pretty quickly...

Yeah right, single speeds are for losers. I personally like to ride my mountain bike down the sidewalk with earbuds in and my shirt off. Oh but seriously? The only singlespeed I think I'd own is a cheap used one. Though, I really do like some of the bianchi ones, I don't think I could see...

Been riding for about 2 years and I've been pretty fortunate so far - a close call here or there that were probably just as much my fault as they were of the motorist. One time, however, I did blow through a stop sign like a total idiot. I actually got pulled over by a police officer because...
