Hello all,
For my extended project I am doing an essay entitled “The Evolution and Applications of Aerodynamics in Cycling; Testing How Valid Current Aerodynamic Drag Models Are In Real World Riding” which might interest some of you; however I need some of your help – please could you fill out my survey on the psychology of cycling fast https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/QGT6PXT 12 
Thank you and Merry Christmas

What you could do Sashah is

What you could do Sashah is ask a number of posters how they would term the questions and what possible answers they would like to be able to choose from. That way you may make a survey that is less skewed and also one that your target audience is more likely to fill in…

^^^ that.

Also what do you mean by ‘aerodynamics of a bike’? Is that tube sections, dropped seatstays etc, or do you mean a low stack height enabling a low front end (whether or not with funky tubes)?

For reference, freewheeling down a given hill in the Alps, my terminal speed is 45mph on a Lapierre Aircode which has a high stack and -6 stem, and 55mph on a 2017 Supersix Evo with a lower stack and -17 (flat) stem, so I’d take a lower front over tube shapes any day (wheels, position, rider weight and helmet much the same).

You’ve got some trailing characters in your link – it should be: https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/QGT6PXT

I was going to start answering it, but the first question only allows one response whereas I’d want to check several of them.
