2004 Tandem Ownership Survey

Updated: 5 Feb 04

Interesting numbers:

- 38% of the respondents own more than 1 tandem.

- A whopping 5.2% of the respondents own 4 tandems.

- 18% of the respondents own off-road tandems.

- Nearly 5% of the respondents own triplets

- Over 8.2% of the respondents own recumbents

- 12.1% of the respondents own a "take-a-part" tandem.

- Co-Motion ownership among respondents is the highest by a wide margin, which may have more to do with owner-demograhics than actual brand ownership, i.e., there are clearly more Santana tandems in the world than Co-Motion tandems so perhaps not as many Santana owners own computers or have any interest in using their computers to participate in Internet-based discussion forums.

GRAPH OF ALL-UP RESULTS


For those who are interested in knowing even more about tandem team habits and norms, Dirk Bettge's conducted a rather extensive survey of tandem owners in the Fall of 2000 which collected detailed demographics on the types of tandems owned, purchase price, accessories, mile ridden, etc... If you 'd like to see his results, visit the SuDuBi Web site by clicking HERE. You may also recall that I conducted survey's in 2001 and 2002 which looked at different trends and solicited feedback on how I could better serve the tandem community's needs with our Web site. Unfortunately, not all of those results are still retrievable. I will in all likelihood launch another survey either later this winter or next year that will attempt to capture that information as it would appear "inquiring minds want to know".

Thanks for taking time to visit.
