wow.. so looks like a spam and an email with a virus attachment. Sorry for jumping to conclusions but I am not opening this attachment.. An email from hotmail with a word document attachment. Meets my criteria for a spam & virus attack.

LOL Anand, even i had the same impression :)

But the sender's email is Gmail though he has asked the feedback to be given to his Hotmail id.

Also i "viewed" the doc as Google doc and it has survey details,

Retik,

It would be much easier to fill if you had created a google form
(https://support.google.com/drive/answer/87809?hl=en), instead of
sending a docx file. Not everyone will have MS Office 2007..

It would be easier on your end too.. since responses will be consolidated.

@Retik please create the google form asap and we will surely share our contribution towards a desi manufacturer.
Honestly i'm tired of lack of parts availability of imports.

Interesting question 12.

[Abhay Kerur]

OR even better would be to put it up on surveymonkey site, you also get formatted result at the end for free and many more features with paid subscription.

Retik -- Am curious to understand the thought process.; why a new bicycle for Indian customers? I don't think in general, Indian customers need anything different than what various brands already offer. Is the intent simply to understand which specific type of cycle may be more in demand here? Or are you really thinking of a new bicycle? (From the questions in the survey, looks like it might be the former.)

Other than road (& traffic) conditions, I don't think there is anything special about riding in India, which will merit a very different bicycle for cyclists here. I can say that due to the road conditions, I personally suggest that people who are starting to cycle, & who don't have very specific requirements, should consider MTBs. Had it been a country where roads are generally good, I would suggest a hybrid or commuter road bike instead.

But in terms of actual preferences, I think other than the price factor that will make say bikes above Rs50K a bit of a rarity, we see people riding all kinds of bikes. For accessories too, I don't think there are any particular ones that cyclists here prefer in particular.

The Rs15-25K price range might be the sweet spot. And if we can get various parts like brake pads, cables, chains, etc. for cheaper, that would be good.

Re: the survey questions -- I think quite a few of them could be answered with multiple options, so check boxes might be a better idea.

Finally, can you share any details re: what sort of plans this bike brand has for India?

lol 30 kms per week... what a joke :) we have people in bangalore who do 20-25km commute one way every day :)

Maybe it is just me but I thought that the questions didn't even convey a basic understanding of the cycling scenario unfolding here on this city. I didn't respond
