BSNYC Friday Fun Quiz!

Firstly, I have news of great importance for any haters out there.  Please note that you have been granted a temporary reprieve from ball-sucking, as the beloved "All You Haters Suck My Balls" wheel has officially been unlaced:



While the haters may be relieved, the rest of you are surely as distressed as this wheel is de-stressed.  I've been a great fan of this wheel ever since I first laid eyes on it, and it pains me deeply to see the heart quite literally cut out of this once-great rolling statement.  However, I've been assured the owner has future plans for the AYHSMB rim, and I am comforted to know that it will one day roll again.  So we can all breathe easy--though if you're a hater, your days of unobsructed breathing are surely numbered.

And with that said, it is my sadistic pleasure to beset you with a quiz.  As always, read the question, think carefully, and click on your answer.  If you're right, you'll see the item.  If you're wrong, you'll see definitive proof of the presta valve's superiority.

Good luck, and as always thanks for reading.

  4. Got everything but the last one - even after looking at that photo for several minutes all I could say was WTF?

    ReplyDelete
  5. Wow, bike producers and porn producers apparently both look for the same thing - giant ones which demonstrate both lateral and tortional stiffness.

  6. i picked up "into darkness" on a whim at chicago's metal haven a few years back, which was probably the only good decision i'd ever made when shopping at metal haven.

  7. Relace the AYHSMB wheel and send it with Hincapie to Roubaix next year instead of the HED.

  8. looks like someone is going to lose a bike.

  9. So that's what "semi-sarcasm" sounds like? I wonder what full blown BSNYC sarcasm entails?

  12. someone's already left town for the weekend, eh?

    don't forget your kippah, mr big shot!

    that bike is surely insecure but that seat post doesn't have a quick release...i'm going to have to bring my multi-tool

  13. ant1,

    Hey, it's a quiz--gotta keep people on their toes.

    Andrew,

    I scrutinized the photo and I'm pretty sure it does have a quick release, though it certainly wouldn't hurt to bring the multi-tool just in case.

  16. I side with the multi-tool fella. I don't see a lever or a screw-type adjuster on either side.

  18. how about a response to NY State
    Senator Jeff Klein and his attitude

  19. If the Specialized is indeed filled with killer bees (nice), they'll still lose the bike, but it will go to caller #2

    thanks for playing

    ReplyDelete
  20. definitely a quick release. that is clearly a lever.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Interesting how girls on bikes in NYC never have real jobs.

    ReplyDelete
  22. wow, i laughed uproariously at that specialized bike. that's one of the funniest things ever to appear on this site.

    ReplyDelete
  23. What ever happened to that nerd of a senior network admin guy who wore a pocket protector in his profile photo?

    ReplyDelete
  24. Cool...I didn't know they could do toe knuckle tats. I can even spell my name on my toes since it has eleven letters.

    ReplyDelete
  25. Aaarrgh! Only two right.

    But the great thing about that parrot video is that the tube is filled with helium.

    Polly will be speaking in one of those hilarious high pitched voices.

  26. The Special Ed would be a lot cooler if it was filled with killer beers.

  31. So my namesake Eddy limits production to 6,000 bikes a year, as scarce as Ferraris. All you haters can, in fact, suck my balls.

  32. PLZ Tell me that the AYHCSMB rim is going to be laced to a powertap hub?!?

    ReplyDelete
  33. "If you're buying a bike to ride with a group of friends, pick the same type of bike they have."

    What kind of vague bullshit is that? I would have had a perfect score if it weren't for that gem of journalistic pablum.

    ReplyDelete
  34. To the person who wants to send that wheel to Hincapie for Roubaix--BRILLIANT!!!

    Thats the best laugh I've had on here in awhile. Sorry, snobby, but hey good to have you back. I missed you.

  35. A Shabes-Goy Pit-Parrot for Saturday Cyclocross Races! That's one way to get the pressure dialed on your Dugasts ...

    ReplyDelete
  36. Is that the parrot that let all but 30 psi of air out of the metal race tires?

    ReplyDelete
  37. Sorry streepo, I'm last. As usual.

    ReplyDelete
  38. I did very very poorly on todays quiz. I will hang my head in shame until I get chance to redeem myself on next weeks quiz. Judging by the quote on CNBC it think its safe to say that BSNYC is not Jewish but Some sort of Lord, Count, or Baron.

    ReplyDelete
  39. The last photo is obviously taken of a Jehova's Witness' Specialized. They are forbidden to use pad locks, but instead rely on the faith of Jehova and the brutal beatings of bike thieves with stacks of Watchtower brochures.

    All you non-believers can suck Jehova's balls.

    Cyclocross WAS the new singlespeed, but it was usurped by singlespeed cyclocross bikes. I was into singlespeeds in the SEVENTIES, three-wheeled singlespeeds to be exact, and back then like now, brakes were for pussies, ..or girls, who, of course, ...had cooties.

  40. Nice bike commie. Did you just trail bags of ketchup flavored Lays behind you to stop?

    ReplyDelete
  41. You need you eyes checked, people -- that is most certainly a QR seat binder.

  42. Q) What's the worst part of being the only person to notice that the holder of the AYHCSMB wheel has it strategically positioned to perfectly frame his formerly frequently-sucked balls?

    A) telling my wife I'm gay.

    ReplyDelete
  43. not that there's anything wrong with that, of course.

    ReplyDelete
  44. The "killer bees" conjured up quite an image.

    "Hah, this bike deserves to be stolen, just a quick pull OH GOD BEES THE PAIN MAKE IT STOP"

  45. All you suckers hate my balls

  46. Winter IS Alterna-sludge w/a twist of Klezmer!! It's all about the diminished fifth...

  47. BSNYC - Why not find the haters something else to do, or at least suck?

  48. I'm, picturing Arrested Development right now:

    Gob: "No bees!"

  50. Mr. Zinn said my Stans tires were burping air? Nope. It's the f'ing parrots.

  65. here is a question for you... who did Lance Armstrong recently ride with? A) Dave Chappelle B) MASH Crew C) Team Dentist/Serrotta or D) BSNYC?

    Good luck!

    ReplyDelete
  66. the parrot would just snip a presta right off

    ReplyDelete
  67. 333 - The answer is B, the Mash crew.
    If anybody is interested, the video is on their newly remodeled site. Along with the video, they added links to their favorite sites, and I found it interesting the They include BSNYC as one of their links.

    ReplyDelete
  68. that's because unlike BSNYC's readers, the MASH guys are actually pretty open minded.

    ReplyDelete
  69. like i got tired of seeing that fucking shit parrot suck off a bike valve

    ReplyDelete
  70. that's because unlike BSNYC's readers, the MASH guys are actually pretty open minded.

    Maybe this is a stupid question, but aren't YOU a BSNYC reader?

    ReplyDelete
  71. No offense BSNYC, but these comments are almost as funny as your posts these days. Watch out.

    ReplyDelete
  72. The banner across the top of the last issue of Velonews is "Lance shoots for eight tour win". when I first pulled it out of my mailbox and looked at it quickly I thought it said "Lance shoots up for eight tour win". Dyslexia can be fun sometimes.

    ReplyDelete
  73. That's actually the corect way to lock a Specialized, once you realise just what a POS you just bought and how much you have it insured for...

    ReplyDelete
  74. Streepo, dyslexia? Snobbie's Rabbi is dyslexic. He goes around saying "yo" all the time.

    ReplyDelete
  75. i heard B.J. Hunnicut dropped Lance as well.

    ReplyDelete
  76. Parrot fellatio turns me on

    ReplyDelete
  77. wow that last question with the lock made me burst out loud with laughter. good job bsny, or bad job if it is your boyfriends bike...

    ReplyDelete
  78. After you deduct the podiumists, the knuckle-tat suggestions, the inane repeaters and the insane, BSNYC has like eight actual comments.

    I can't believe how NICE No Impact Man was to his congersman! I guess you catch more flies with honey than with U-locks.

    ReplyDelete
  79. Last time I checked, the market value on aluminum drops that have been cut up with a hacksaw was $0.00 Pretty impressed by the amount of detail, though.

  80. tell me where you saw that *security question* bike -- if it's not filled with bees now, it certainly could be for a nominal fee. ;)

    ReplyDelete
  81. ...not to disparage anyone's remarks but honey ???...honey attracts ants...

    ...if it's flies yer lookin' for, nothing works better than crap...

    ...just observing & no flies on bsnyc/rtms...

  82. Haiku is easy
    It doesn't have to make sense
    Suck and Hate My Balls

    ReplyDelete
  83. Metal

    Culture

    Hmmm. And those metalheads on that Inquisition site make disparaging comments about attempted irony. I was a bit surprised at the competently used punctuation and evidence of the use of several shift keys on that blog and in the comments. I suppose that's encouraging. I dunno, maybe it's just ironic.

    ReplyDelete
  84. Notice that all of the cut spokes on the AOYHCSMB wheel are pointing to the proposed area of suckage.

    ReplyDelete
  85. Where did you see that specialized bike locked up?

    I have a bee keeper's outfit and would love a new mountain bike...
