Grant, point well taken. This is all about selling stuff. Regular bike imports, exports and sales are down due to excessive inventories and a slow market, so Ebikes are where the industry is headed to sustain itself.

On the other hand, these are masters degree students at one of the best research universities in the country. If they wanted to make a good survey, they have a lot of resources available. In addition, these are MBA students asking about shopping habits, so they're more likely to be the people using our data to sell us stuff than they are to be urban planners and policy makers.

    2 more cents from me:

    Don't feel obligated to fill out the survey, but since you took
    the time to open it and look at it, do please send feedback!
    If you have resources for the survey creators or ideas that they
    should have considered to prepare the survey let them know.
    That is the only way they will have a learning experience.

    And if we want good surveys to come out of our future planners and
    policy-makers, your constructive criticism, however brief, could
    be a step toward that goal.

        I agree.  Bad survey.  I quit.

        I started doing this survey, but it is so poorly designed, the
        answer I would put for the
        questions were almost never there, i.e., since I don't use
        B-Cycle, whatever that is, I couldn't
        say "never" to the question of how often do I use it?

        Earlier this year I was fined $1221 by the city for having
        wildflowers in my terrace and a burning bush
        in my yard. My trial occurred more than three months after the
        city council unanimously
        approved the "Pollinator Protection Task Force" report which
        seeks to protect
        pollinators--bees, butterflies, moths, bats, hummingbirds,
        etc., and preserve pollinator habitat
         But the city's Building Inspection Division didn't get the
        "memo" and continues to order
        pollinator habitat removed and prosecutes people who don't
        comply. If you feel the
        ordinances on the books should be amended, sign my petition:
