Bike Quiz- 4 Questions To See What You Know

[Sandy]

We are cyclists and certainly know the basics of how a bike operates. Here is a simple 4 question quiz to see what you really know. I will ask 4 questions. Please take out a piece of paper and number 1-4. Answer each question and then look at the correct answers that I will give in my next post. Please indicate how many questions you answered correctly.

Picture your bike (non-fixed gear) on a trainer or simply consider your bike with the rear wheel off the floor.


Questions

1. If you rotate the pedals forward, how does the rear wheel move?,
2. If you rotate the pedals backwards, how does the rear wheel move?
3. If you rotate the rear wheel forward, how do the pedals move?
4. If you rotate the rear wheel backwards, how do the pedals move?

[Sandy]

1. moves forward
2. does not move
3. pedals do not move
4. pedals move backwards


Did you get all 4 answers correct? I think most cyclists will not. Please indicate how many you did answer correctly. Are you surprised by the answers?
