Q2 asks if you can legally ride on the pavement (to which there answer
is no)then on the pic for Q3 they have a picture of a cycle lane on the
pavement.

Boris rides a bike when he's on his mobile? I hope he uses hands free, pays
attention to where he's going and doesn't swerve all over the place like all
the other cyclists on mobiles I've encountered.

CTC says not to ride closer than 60cm from the kerb? Aren't they adopting
the 1-1.5m rule that was publicised recently?

Nice little quiz though - I only got 5 out of 10 so I'm off to ride my bike.

Number 5 - surely that isn't John Prescott wearing a pudding basin on
the back of his head? :-)

I would also dispute the answer to number 8!

I got 8 and can no longer ride a bike. 60cm is far too close to the kerb IMO.

60cm is an absolute minimum. 1m is a recommended minimum.

9/10 (a lucky guess or two there).

I just rode my bike home across a motorway junction and down a dual
carriageway but yet I only scored 4 out of 10. I thought you could ride on
the pavement if the road is thought to be too dangerous to cycle on.

You are joking, right?

8/10 here. I said a metre instead of 60cm and got the children and
side roads answer wrong. Lucky guess on the police bikes.

The strangest thing, I thought, was that so many people only use one or two
gears.

Mind you, given the popularity of fixies here, perhaps I shouldn't be too
surprised.
