All surveys must be in by 5.00pm, 31st September 2007.

What sort of cyclists are you?
A novice rider is a beginner, recent returnee or other cyclist who will not cycle on roads except with the support of a group. An intermediate rider would be one who primarily uses back roads, cycle paths and bike lanes on busy roads. An experienced rider is traffic savvy and will ride most major roads but still prefers the low stress alternatives when they are convenient and available and a Very experienced or "road warrior" means that you are very comfortable riding on any road at any time of the day. If you only ride an MTB off road then enter your level of experience for off road riding.
