Spring was the favourite riding season for our respondents, followed closely by summer. Autumn was only favoured by 1/5th of respondents and as for winter, well, only 1% of preferred cold and dark rides 🥶🌃

Tell us about your favourite winter riding equipment over on the Rider Research Hub on our "Must have winter equipment" discussion page!

MERRY CHRISTMAS! 🎄

From all of us over on the Rider Research Hub! Hope you have a great time and maybe get to sneak in a few bike rides around the festivities. 🚲

See you in the New Year 🥳 🎁

Which of these bikes would you choose for Christmas? 👀

A sleek S-Works or a hard core enduro bike in the form of a Trek Slash?

Or maybe you'd rather have a less intense off road bike, an Orbea Oiz or Canyon Grizl perhaps.

Let us know which one you'd most like to find in your stocking 🧦

We recently asked you which maintenance skills you would most like to master, finding that almost a 1/4 wanted to put an end to noisy gears for good, and learn to index them properly ⚙️

The second most popular maintenance skill respondents wanted to master was bleeding disc brakes. In a previous poll, we asked you specifically about disc brake maintenance, finding that 25% would never attempt to bleed their own brakes but 34% had bled their own brakes before. 🧑‍🔧

Another great insight from our latest 'Would You Rather: Bike Edition' series, where we found a 60:40 split in favour of only being allowed to ride an eBike.

Which would you rather only be allowed to ride? An eBike or a fixie?

Comfort and price beats weight and aerodynamics?! 👀

We asked respondents what is most important to them when choosing a new bike, finding that comfort (40%) and price (37%) are the most important factors. Following some way behind is weight and aerodynamics.

What is most important to you when choosing a new bike? 🚴‍♀️

🚵‍♀️ Trail bikes are the most popular type of mountain bike on the Rider Research Hub, with almost 3/4 of riders owning one!

Like this if you have a trail bike ❤️

Over half of respondents have taken part in a Strava challenge and another 9% would like to take part in one in the future!

Strava has seen some major growth in the last few years, with the user base exploding to 50 million monthly active users in 2025, nearly double its closest competitor, with downloads up 80% year-over-year. Most of this has been attributed to cultural shift, with socialising moving away from pubs and towards the great outdoors. 🌲

Do you have Strava and have you ever taken part in a challenge?
