On Your Bike Trivia Quiz

Answer: dike bike

Equipped with a handy inflatable flotation device just in case you fall into the drink, your deluxe dike bike is perfect for riding in Holland or New Orleans in the USA.

Answer: Ike bike

Technically known as a Newton Motion Machine, your Ike bike comes equipped with an attractive wicker basket. Apples not included.

Sir Isaac Newton (1643-1727) was an English scientist and polymath, who is best known to the general public for his formulation of the law of gravity.

Answer: bike like

The bike like is, needless to say, the highest form of approbation.

While there are schemes such as tip jars that allow content consumers to pay small amounts to content creators, no uniform, universally accepted system exists to turn likes into hard, cold cash.

A strike is often accompanied by picketing (walking the picket line with signs) of the affected business. Members of the public who support the strike are urged not to cross the picket line.

Answer: tike bike

Comes with removable training wheels, elbow pads and an adjustable bicycle helmet. Spiderman and fairy princess stickers optional.
