Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 3-6-2023 — World Bicycle Day.

3rd June, 2023: World Bicycle Day.

Yes: it’s officially official.

I’ve woken up, this morning … with a runny nose.

I’m blowed if I know why.

But I hate it when my nose is dripping!

~≈Ë≈~

Let’s move on, shall we?


Yesterday’s Teaser saw Mum*, Olga† and Debbi‡ putting in their answers: with everyone scoring five out of five.


Let’s see how everyone does with today’s questions, shall we?

Here they are, along with the How To, License and video.

Q1)        3rd June is World Bicycle Day.   How many wheels does a bicycle have?

Q2)        Those wheels are attached to what ‘F’: a frame, firework or Flump?

Q3)        A (human-powered) bicycle has one wheel connected to a chain, which is connected to gears, connected to what: pedals, wings or doors?

Q4)        BMX racing is also known as Bicycle Moto … what?

A1)        Canada.

Q2)        2nd June is the feast day of Saint Elmo.   Saint Elmo’s fire affects what: sailing ships, cars or lorries?

Q5)        Finally … ?   2nd June, 1840, saw the birth of writer, Thomas Hardy. Bathsheba Everdene is the main character of which of Hardy’s novels: Tess of the d’Urbervilles, Far from the Madding Crowd or Jude the Obscure?

A5)        Far from the Madding Crowd.

Here’s a thought … 

“Bicycling is a big part of the future. It has to be. There’s something wrong with a society that drives a car to work out in a gym.”

Bill Nye.

And a song …

Today’s questions will be answered in tomorrow’s Teaser.

Decisions about scores are final.

Thank you for coming: have a good day.

*        Hello, Mum!

†        Very true, Olga.   I think that’s part of the problem: is any potential power imbalance.   A manager dating a manger is one thing, a manager dating a junior member of staff, something else.   Still: “a fuss over nothing” is definitely the phrase!

        Wasn’t that SOB, Olga?   I got the impression that’s why Andrews did it: to — ahem! — expand her range, a bit!

‡        I think I’ve still got Wall of Voodoo’s first LP, somewhere, Debbi: it’s quite a listen.   (Oh, the 15th June is a ten question set: I though I should mention.)
