Contest

There's not much going on this week here on dork.net, but I have a little contest going on at MonavieCannondale.com if you're interested in checking it out.

Match the meal...



With the rider....



I received this little web questionnaire yesterday. Life's slow on here, so why not?

If you could have any one — and only one — bike in the world, what would it be?

Dumb question. A BMW 1200 GS Adventure...even though last time I looked at one, a big 6'6" German guy barked "BMW bikes are not for short people." The 800 would probably suit me better.

Do you already have that coveted dream bike? If so, is it everything you hoped it would be? If not, are you working toward getting it? If you’re not working toward getting it, why not?

Stop riding my case.

If you had to choose one — and only one — bike route to do every day for the rest of your life, what would it be, and why?

This sounds like marriage.

What kind of sick person would force another person to ride one and only one bike ride to to do for the rest of her / his life?

A fixie Portland hipster.

Do you ride both road and mountain bikes? If both, which do you prefer and why? If only one or the other, why are you so narrowminded?

I do road rides in my primal gear jerseys and mountain bike rides with shoe covers.

Have you ever ridden a recumbent? If so, why? If not, describe the circumstances under which you would ride a recumbent.

I've ridden inebriated. Does that count?

Have you ever raced a triathlon? If so, have you also ever tried strangling yourself with dental floss?

Respect. This is a two-time off road duathlon champ. No swimming. I'd rather swim than run, though.

Suppose you were forced to either give up ice cream or bicycles for the rest of your life. Which would you give up, and why?

What would be worse would be to be forced to either always wear gloves, or never wear gloves while riding.

What is a question you think this questionnaire should have asked, but has not? Also, answer it.

Which hand reaches for your bottle the most often, and can you drink from the other?

-Right, and hardly with the left.

You’re riding your bike in the wilderness (if you’re a roadie, you’re on a road, but otherwise the surroundings are quite wilderness-like) and you see a bear. The bear sees you. What do you do?

Wave.
