Good morning!
In the spirit of keeping you on your toes, or at least the balls of your feet, I’m pleased to present you with a quiz. As always, study the question, think, and click on your answer. If you’re right you’ll know it, and if you’re wrong you’ll see more Astana rap.
Thanks very much for reading, ride safe, and ride safely.
Love,
–Tan Tenovo

- 1,000 DFUs

4) Motor scooters and throttle e-bikes are uniting New Yorkers because:

They may be reclaiming the streets from cars or whatever, but that’s gonna give me night terrors.
