Footpath Experience

Hey guys I have a favour to ask. I am doing a marketing research about exercising and would like to ask you guys if you could spare a sec and complete the survey.

http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/97VYY2G

There is just 9 questions and most of them are 'yes/no' so it won't take too much of your time. 

Thx very much guys I appreciate that.

What benefit are you bringing to the forum?

the entertainment value of pulling the survey apart afterwards?

Is it an alarm thingy that you wear onj your wrist, like a watch, that you can use to let people know you're coming?  A bit like using your voice but more intrusive and less polite.

People will buy it.  People buy all sorts of crap for their sport, especially newbies.

So it's something like a horn worn on your wrist???  Think a polite shout would be just as good............cheaper too!

I dunno, though, when riding my bike on shared bike/footpaths/bridleways I find some walkers want you to ring your bell, other people get massively offended by the bell because they take it as a 'get out of my way' signal rather than a polite 'here I am' signal.

I wouldn't say that it is intrusive and less polite, it gives you an opportunity to let people know that you are coming rather then shouting at them from a distance.

what do you think is wrong with shouting at them?? has worked for me for years and costs me nothing

I guess you can't say how other people will react but still I think that shouting is less polite.

I think shouting is more polite because you can say 'please'. However, I have done the survey.

you know it it is about safety really. No suprieses, no injuries on both sides.

Luckily thanks to a misspent youth boxing and playing rubgy I snuffle like a pig when I run and the noise emanating from me sends people jumping into hedgerows in fear. I therefore doubt I would require any device.

Also as I am always telling Mrs Oirish any gadget that replaces a human is only a bad thing no matter how more effective it is but enough of our problems.

I am willing to volunteer to be recorded for your product for a small fee, 100% effectiveness guaranteed

I too will do your survey though.

Will it have a hologram on it?

Not interested if it hasn't got a hologram on it.

I have noticed quite a few newbies whilst out training recently.                     

 Any warning device would have to be very loud because most of them are wearing..........dare I say it......HEADPHONES.
