BSNYC Friday Fun Quiz!

Hello!

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 an Australian children's song, or alt-pop hit, I can't quite tell which.

Ride safe, ride safely, and enjoy riding safely this weekend.

Safely.

Love,

The Wiggles are my four year-old's favorite band. We enjoyed our first joint WeeHoo ride a few days ago. Between his Strider and the WeeHoo, he's experiencing his own personal Golden Age of Cycling.

Helmet hair is so old Miley Cyrus.

Ride safe all.

Of course, if you're riding in the Red Hook Crit tomorrow, that's kind of impossible.

Took the grandkid to a wiggles show once.
It's kinda like going to a Grateful Dead concert, you can't really understand it without the acid.

Whizzed thru the quiz and am counting the days until the June 1 tyrewiz release. Have always wanted to know what hydraulic pressure my whiz was running.

Gee, he got her picture. Bet he wouldn't be so tough without his car.

Daniel said...

Wait - when did the Wiggles get a female member? My youngest is now almost 15, so we are about 10 years removed from Wiggles updates.

Bikeboy said...

What?!! No cat in the dishwasher? (We double-up at the bikeboy household, by washing both the dishes and the family pet. Sure, she doesn't care much for it... but she gets over it, and she's clean and fresh!)

got an "a" in the quiz.still don't how to link,but if i did,i'd interject with "i got you" by split enz with accompanying video.
i thought the wiggles song was about the Bada Bing.my bad.
ride safely y'all.

Wiggles-Illuminati: same thing! said...

Daniel,

They've had a sheila for a good little while now. There's only one original Wiggle remaining and controversially, when the Asian Wiggle left they didn't replace him with another Asian. Racist Wiggles.

Also, they've let their standards slip; at 0:55 in the video, when setting off on her bike, she misses/slips on the pedals. Never would've happened back in the day.

Joe said...

She's gotta raise that saddle

Easy does it said...

If she raised her saddle she may need then jete’, or, grand écart en l'air, as she rolls off the twin-legged kickstand.

Olle Nilsson said...

Wiggles: I was thinking she did a good job of faking it the she missed the pedal. I'm going to have to learn that trick.

Hi, Bike Snob,

story suggestion: not for publication: If I were a leading semi-pro bike blogger I'd look into this potential story. In the Halloween bike path terror attack in lower Manh., I think the Argentine victims were riding Citi-Bikes. As you know, in general, if you lose or damage a Citi-Bike, you have to pay for it. We also know that weird shit happens with bureaucracies. Maybe Citi-Bike is trying to charge the tourists or their estates for the destroyed bikes?
