Test your biking general knowledge with this light-hearted quiz.
There are a few questions that are UK related but you guys are usually so knowledgeable, anyway, you get to see the answers once you have completed it all.
But I wanna know what you all scored. :D

I'm light and lower scoring category. :(
And embarrassed to say I didn't answer #3 correctly. I'll let tell why ..later after others do this quizz.
I got 14 right, but I was just guessing at all but a couple of them. I don't know which ones I got wrong, though. How can you see the right answers? I click "reveal all" but nothing happens except giving me my score.

Hey, well done you for getting 14 correct, hope you didn't Google any of the questions. ;)
If you go back onto each question, providing you know what you answered, it gives you the correct answer to each question.
Hope this helps.

I got a 12, but I guessed at 90% of the questions since I know NOTHING about cycling abroad. :p
That was pretty fun. Thanks for sharing! :)
It doesn't give the right answer. :( I took it for real the first time and I didn't see any corrections, but the second time I took it I clicked the first bubble for each answer. I went back and it didn't change any of the answers. I want to know the answers to some of those without doing all the hard googling and subsequent reading.

Yes, this is exactly what happened to me! I know I got #3 wrong (because shootingstar said she got it wrong and then I realized why she thought she should get it right, so when I changed my answer it said I got 15 right), but I don't know what else.
I wonder if it has to do with which browser you're using? I'm using Firefox. Maybe I'll try the quiz again in Safari.

I had the same issue with Firefox. Safari showed the correct answers.
14 for me, but I too was guessing at many of them.

I was guessing on all of them and got 12, but it didn't tell me which ones I missed.
I have no idea who most of the people or where most of the places are.
Bad cyclist, me!

I scored 17, but only about 4 did I actually "know" the answers, the rest were all guess-work.

I also got a 10. The only one I actually knew the answer to was the one about the researchers' findings on bike safety.

Ok, I sucked at that!
I only got 9...and that was 9 guesses!:o
Once someone can reveal all the answers that would be great.
I guess I need to read up on some of this!
I would do better about parts on a bike!
