For those who missed the Austin Bike Culture Quiz or couldn’t figure out all the answer, here are the questions and answers linked to the A2W article they came from.

1. What monthly bike jamming event happens in Austin on the last Friday of the month?

Critical Mass

2. In June, the Austin Master Bike Plan was updated by the Austin City Council. What year was the first Austin Master Bike Plan adopted?

This one was a bit tricky. The original Master Bike Plan was passed in 1996 but was incomplete. The other half was passed in 1998. We accepted either year.

3. What company will be sponsoring Lance Armstrong’s cycling team next year?

Team Radio Shack, baby!

4. This year was the 30th anniversary of the movie, Breaking Away. Earlier this month, there was a single speed track race in Austin to commemorate the movie’s release. What was the name of the real life race depicted in the film that the event sought to imitate?

The Little 500

Crumpton Cycles
Dominion Bicycles
Firemans Texas Cruzer*
Giano Fabricata*
Kirklee Bicycles
Liquor Bikes
Sexy Cycles
True Fabrication
Violet Crown Cycles
Willits Bikes
* These are companies that are based in Austin but have their frames built elsewhere.

6. In Texas, cyclists can legally treat stop signs as yield signs, only having to stop when yielding to another vehicle. True or false.

False. Many people wished it were like Idaho.

7. In January, Austin police arrested a bike thief who targeted owners of high end bikes by befriending them on bike rides, finding out where they lived, and then breaking into their homes to steal the bikes. He then sold the bikes online and when arrested had over $60,000 worth of stolen bikes and components in his possession. What was this notorious thief’s name?

James Clayton

8. This fall the second annual Texas Custom Bicycle Show will be held in Austin. What are the dates of the show?

October 23-25. Most of the builders from question 5 will have booths at this event within an event at the LiveStrong Expo
