Cycling in the city with bagage

[20180992]

Do you live and work in the same city and use your bicycle often? Your opinion can really help! By filling out my survey, you’ll contribute to important research on the needs of urban cyclists like you.
Hello! I’m Sander Lowette, a Product Development student at the University of Antwerp. For my master’s thesis, I’m researching how people who live and work in the same city use their bicycles and how they carry their belongings during daily activities.

It will take about 10 minutes to complete, and it will really help me a lot. Thanks in advance for your time and contribution!

I think the survey is irrelevant and inappropriate to this site. Nobody here is going to carry baggage on their road bike.

I allowed it: see moderation thread for further discussion, and by all means try to persuade me otherwise there. But this is the enthusiast (which probably includes such non-enthusiastic activities as commuting) section, so seems the appropriate location. I'm assuming it is harmless and is what it says.

I carry baggage - well, stuff... not a huge suitcase - on my bike all the time.
It's not a road bike, mind you, just a regular bike. I do however mostly use it on the road.

Sorry, not sure how to answer this survey.
I use my bike to get to work - and meet with family - during the summer, but then I stop at some point during the fall - already have this year - and don't ride my bike at all for several months, before returning to bike-based transport.

I think Armchair best explained it and I am fine with that. The post in question is in the Enthusiast section of the site and that might encompass those who commute or carry baggage.
But if you think about what the overwhelming majority come here for (including yourself ?), it isn’t because they use bikes to commute and carry baggage. It’s because they are fans of competitive cycling.
