The Chainlink

Hello Chainlink community!  

Our names are Sachin and Sid; we are two students at the University of Chicago who love to ride our bikes.  Between the two of us, we've worked in 4 bike shops in Pasadena, CA and Boulder, CO, and we continue to stay close to the cycling community.  We are currently in the process of performing some market research around how cyclists in our community get their bikes serviced.  We are developing a survey and will be launching it shortly; we would be very grateful for your participation (will take 3-5 minutes to complete)!  

Thank you!

Terrific. A "B" school project and a seemingly ready-made focus group. Unless I miss my mark, from the questions posed, it would appear that the surveyors lack familiarity with the chosen subject matter.


Hi Kevin!

We definitely look forward to any feedback you might have on our ideas.  What, in particular, do you suppose we do not understand about this market?  Thanks of course for all your support.

Hello free market research!

I am willing to bet that this project has to do with market research for a large bike shop or bike shop chain looking at the viability of a pick up service.

FYI, your results are now skewed by at least one.

It's definitely all about the pricing for a pick up service, but I assumed it would be a smartphone app where the shops get charged to be listed, and the customer gets charged for the convenience.

The most glaring survey bias error seems to be that most people only have one bike.

Kevin,  

That is a very good point.  We overlooked this in developing the survey.  Thank you for your feedback!

Hello DUG,

We're actually pooling our resources for a start-up which would partner with local shops here in Chicago; we think we would be able to drive additional volumes (especially during the winter months) and we are trying to better understand the market.  My apologies for any misunderstandings.

Thank you for your help!

h' 1.0, 

We are actually developing a service which would connect customers with local shops in Chicago.  We have mentors here at the University of Chicago, however our focus is on developing a deeper understanding of the market in order to determine if our idea is actually viable.  My apologies for any confusion.

Thank you!

+1   Many of us have multiple bikes, some with cargo trailers.

Another issue is what is "service"  A tune-up? Something breaks that I cannot fix and I need to get the bike to a shop?  Just two examples that immediately come to mind.
