BSNYC Firday Fun Quiz!

By the time you read this I'll be gone...


...for a ride!


(Disclaimer: different dog, the first one is still miserable.)

Sure, I realize bailing early on Friday could be construed as goldbricking, but then again I am a bike blogger, which means I do get to ride a bicycle on weekdays from time to time.  In fact, it's in the contract I negotiated with myself, right after the part about how I get unlimited vacations and semi-hourly bathroom breaks.  Also, I need to train for the IMBA "World Smit" in Steamboat Springs, CO later this month:


Yes, I realize I'm merely a guest speaker, but on the off-chance they put me on a bicycle and push me down a hill I'm hoping to make it at least a few feet before falling down.

But just because I'm probably falling off a bicycle at this very moment doesn't mean you get to fuck off and have fun too.  Oh, no no no no.  First there's the little matter of...a quiz!

[Entire class groans.]

And don't even think of cheating either, because I've hired a proctor:

He can see into your soul.

Now, onto the quiz.  As always, study the item, think, and click on your answer.  If you're right I'm like sooo happy for you, and if you're wrong you'll see pro cyclists fighting.

Thanks very much for reading, ride safe, and you're welcome.
