In the meantime, I'm administering a quiz. As always, study the item, think, and click on your answer. If you're right you'll know it, and if you're wrong you'll see Dashboard Jesus & the Sermon of the Cyclists. And trust me--you don't want to see a cartoon Jesus with an Australian accent admonishing a cyclist.
Thanks very much for reading, ride safe this weekend, and be wary of large cobblestones, long showers, people wearing rucksacks claiming to be drug testers, and Nickelback.
