New Cycling Market Research Now Available

 

Ontario’s Southwest partnered with Adventure Cycling to gather market research on the Ontario, New York State, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Michigan cycling markets. The research was gathered through an online cycling survey, answering questions about cyclist’s current and future trips. The survey ran in the form of a banner ad on the Adventure Cycling website and was sent out to the Adventure Cycling database via newsletter. The promotion ran from April to July with a response from 105 cyclists.
