Bicycle trip down memory lane

My name is _____________________

BIKE TEST

Here is your BIKE TEST. There are three (3) parts. Part one (1) has 20 questions. They are true and false. Each question counts for one (1) point. Part two (2) has five (5) questions but one of these has two (2) parts. Therefore part two (2) will count for thirty (30) points all together.
Part three (3) has five (5) questions. Here you will explain exactly what you would do. This part is worth ten (10) points for each question.
You need a score of 75 to pass this test. You will not be allowed to talk while doing this test and no answers will be given so don’t ask the question.
GOOD LUCK!

Oh my goodness. Was retaking the test for ol' times sake ... and I think I got a 75.
Is Part One (1), Question #7 the reason I had baskets on the back sides of my bike? I should probably have reviewed this test before sending on my cherubs to the store to buy me eggs. Lack of baskets, combined with an overgrown bush, probably a bit of flinch/jerk reflex = one dozen scrambled eggs without benefit of wire whisk.
Question for the author of this Bike Test: were bike helmets not invented yet?
-the first test passer

I asked the original author!
No, helmets weren't in use then.
Car seats weren't in use then
either. Mom
