BSNYC Friday Fun Quiz!

Remember when elaborate blinky lights were the hottest thing on Kickstarter?  Yes, for awhile there it seemed as though every would-be inventor was marketing some sort of sleek metal flashing suppository.  Times change, however, and now everybody's moved on to retractable filth prophylactics.    First there was the Plume, which used cutting-edge slap bracelet technology.  (To say nothing of the integrated slap bracelet/light.)  Now, there's Musguard, which despite the name is not actually a sprayable moose repellent:



Here's how it works.  First, you wake up and drink a fuckload of coffee:

Then, you get on your fixie and start skidding around Vilnius or wherever:

Then, because you drank all that coffee without waiting to go to the bathroom, you soil yourself while straining to lock up your rear wheel:

Of course, soiling yourself in public is a traumatic experience, which is why the inventor then fills an entire room with schematics and prototypes for what is essentially just a big long stick:

After which he just says, "Fuck it, I'll wear a hazmat suit instead:"

But while the hazmat suit is far more effective than a filth prophylactic when it comes to protecting you from debris, it really doesn't solve the whole soiling yourself problem.  So now he and his hair want you to invest in a non-edible Fruit Roll-Up:

The end.

Oh, also, starting this Saturday, be sure to visit the Rivendell pop-up store in San Francisco:

(This will explain everything.)

Be there, or be a Fred.

And now, I'm pleased to present you with a quiz.  As always, study the item, think, and click on your answer.  If you're right you'll know, and if you're wrong you'll see a triathlete doing what they do best.

Thanks very much for reading, ride safe, and avoid altercations with bears.
