Help Out With Bicycle Survey
Written by Boston Biker on Oct 20Got this email today, looked interesting.
My name is Brandon Rattiner and I am a college student at Tufts University.
In order to fulfill a credit at school, I need to take an entrepreneurship
class that requires me to conduct some sort of market research.Because I am
an avid biker interested in sustainable energy, I decided to research a
product called Ride and Recharge that uses the rotational energy of a
cyclist to fuel a portable electronic charger.I am trying to get a better understanding of the desires and wants of
cyclists in the Boston area, and in order to do that, i have drafted a
short 7 question survey, 2 page survey. I know this is asking a lot, but if
you could post a link to this survey on your blog it would REALLY help me
out. Its a really short survey and is done online through survey monkey.Thanks for everything.
thanks,
Brandon Rattiner
