    Question Real cycling quiz 2009

    To disable ads, please log-in.

    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.

    Ooooooops, my rating was 6-10 Eddie the Eagle

    I'm light and lower scoring category.

    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.

    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.
