[QUOTE 2901181, member: 45"]You need to consider how "trend forecasting" applies to the cyclists you're trying to reach. If you're after those who buy Dutch Pendleton bikes from
Halfords, they're into girlie pastels and your patterns need to match that fashion. If you're after sales from year-round commuters then they're not interested in poncey patterns and are more likely to go for something which doesn't look out of place with their practical utilitarian clothing.
You need to be specific about which group you're targetting, and then you'll get the answers you want.[/quote]
I'm a year round comuter and I've got poncy patterns on my panniers!
