Speaking of "fingerbanging," 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 it, and "fingerbanging" will be justified on your part. (Or, if you're Alberto Contador, on your "fingerbang" assistant's part.) However, if you're wrong, you'll see bloodthirsty Finnish cyclists.
Thanks very much for reading and for forwarding delightful items. Ride safe, and may your weekend provide you with ample opportunity for celebratory "fingerbanging."
