Burning Questions

Home | Archives

Each month (or less) we raised a burning question and then canvassed the opinions of Big Trip readers everywhere. The turnout in our polls can be a bit hit and miss but that's democracy for you.

Anyway, here is a collection of previous polls so you can see if your vote made a difference.

Poll 1 - What is the fastest colour for a bike?

Poll 2 - How many people asked why we were still here ("Thought you were in Australia!") during our first week back at our old work place?

Poll 3 - What's the best thing about Christmas?

Poll 4 - What do you think of snow?

Poll 5 - What will Vic miss most about England?

Poll 6 - Out of all the songs we've been singing whilst cycling, which is your favourite?

Poll 7 - Which is the best 'Jordan' related gag?
