Other quiz games have existed on here in the past, but apart from the Guess Who game they haven't been kept alive.
This game is simple: One person asks a cycling related question, and whoever is first to deliver the correct answer gets to ask the next question.
Then we'll see how long we can keep it going for. I hope some of you will want to play along.
The difficulty of the questions may vary from "who has won the most Grand Tour stages between Peter Sagan and Peter Velits?" to "who broke a spoke when she rode over a pothole in the feed zone on stage 3 of the 1991 edition of the women's Giro d'Italia?" (I don't know whether any rider actually did experience that). As long as the questions revolve around cycling in some way, they are allowed in.
In case it proves to be too hard for anyone to guess the correct answer to a question, the questioner can either give some clues or decide to ask a different question instead. Also, if the questioner wants to, they're allowed to ask multiple questions, that may or may not have some kind of connection or overall theme, or questions with multiple answers. Then the winner of the round will be whoever gets credited with most correct answers.
Now it's not easy for most of us to check whether someone else has searched the web in order to find a correct answer, so I will let it be up to people themselves to decide if their moral compasses allows them to do that or not, but as a rule of thumb, I think it should be avoided unless the game appears to be stuck. The purpose is to exercise our little grey cells, not our Googling or AI skills. It is still perfectly fine to check whether a hunch you may have is accurate or not before you give it as an answer.
