Many people commute to work in Portland via various modes of transit. However, we focus on the bike commuters and develop a model that could be uses to select a commuter bike. To do so, we developed a hierarchical decision model containing the important criteria. We chose this model because it allows the user to have multiple levels of criteria, and manufacturers can use it to clearly see where they can improve their products. This paper will look at the main features of a typical bicycle: the frame, cost, and basic components. Though many features are available that would make one bike or the other more suitable for commuting, we felt that this was representative of the factors for the typical commuter. The members of our team, after extensive research, are the self-styled experts for evaluation of bicycle features using a pairwise comparison. Using the model and inputting a few new bicycles revealed the top choice to be a full-suspension Marin Bridgeway followed by the Novara Big Buzz.
