It's not a civic planner's survey. It's a fine survey for MBA and marketing people within a capitalist society which is where we all live, by the way. One question is collecting data on the economic feasibility of Bicycle Benefits. If you frequent businesses because they offer BB, let your voice be heard on this survey. Data to that regard can encourage other businesses to partake.
One question is about what limits your purchasing when using a bike. For me, it's the largest items. If I can't bungee it on the back, I'm letting them know the value of cargo bikes or cargo B-cycle bike options.
