Question 1 - what's your age - 22
Question 2 - Male
Question 3 - How many times do you cycle in a week - Depends, 2-6 days a week.
Question 4 - Do you usually cycle at night or day - Both, I like night riding though it's much more fun.


Injuries
Question 5 -Which part of the body do you injure the most - My legs.
Question 6 - What is your most serious injuries - Bruised ribs.
Accidents
Question 7 - Do you swerve or brake from accident - depends totally on what sort of accident it's going to be, if a car drives on the wrong side of the road towards me, I'm going to swerve, but if a car turns left without indicating (happens nearly all the time) I'll brake.
Question 8 - What cause most accident? Debris, people or yourself - People and cars, a big thing that causes accidents is drivers that for some reason don't know how to use a car indicator, I can't drive, I stalled a car last time I tried, but I sure as hell know how to use an indicator, so how do these people pass their tests!?!?
Question 9 - Would you compromise looks and safety to gain speed - Being ugly or so good looking you could be a model ain't going to effect speed.
Question 10 - Are you mentally prepared for the next accident? - I don't think about it, I only have near misses usually, never had a proper accident unless you can count a greyhound on a circuit an accident.


Equipment
Question 11 - What are the absolute must have safety equipment - Helmet, you don't have one of these, you could die if you fall on your head.
Question 12 - Do you always wear helmets? Not on my way to uni, silly really, I'm at Salford Uni and cycle up the A6, with those road works it's only a matter of time till someone in a car squeezes past and knocks me off.
Question 13 - How many blinkers do you have on you and your bicycle - None? What are blinkers?
Buying product
Question 14 - What top 3 things you look at first when buying a safety product - It's rating, like gold, silver or bronze, only gold is covered by my bicycle insurance. Weight does not bother me, material does not as long as it does not raise the price. Price... yea abit.
Looks? Price? Features? Weight? Material?
Question 15- What most expensive blinker you have bought in one purchase. Not sure.
Question 16 - What do you look for when "setting up" your bike? looks? weight? price? - Make sure it fits me, make sure the frame is the right size, not to go near Halfords and the angle of the top tube.
Hands signs
Question 17 - Do you use hand signs on the road - Yes, to turn corners.
Question 18 - Do you use hand signs to communicate to other cyclist? - Yes, to say hello, or to signal pot holes.


Hope that helps.
