How about a picture round.
Pictures of bits of bikes, from various angles etc, close up, guess the part.

Let's see if anyone on here can supply the answers to these two questions
1) Which unique TdF 'record' does the Belgian cyclist, Wim Vansevenant, hold?
2) Who has been a professional cyclist, pro wrestler, coal miner, marathon runner, fund raiser and a media personality?

What UCI ranked race was won by an Irishman 8 years in succession ? Paris - Nice
Who was the last Englishman to win a stage of the TdF ? As Cavendish is Manx, I would say Boardman
Max Sciandri won one in 1995 so you could preclude prologues to make it a bit tougher.
Who was the last Belgian to win the TdF ? Lucien Van Impe. 76
Add number of Armstong TDF victories (7) and number of Cavendish stage wins in the Tdf (15) ? 22

You could do a Highway Code/ cycling and the law round.
e.g.
How fast is a cyclist allowed to go in a 30 mph limit (A. as fast as they like - doesn't apply to bikes)
Show 'em a no motor vehicles sign and a no vehicles sign and ask what the difference is for a cyclist
Which of these is illegal? not wearing a helmet, not wearing high visibility clothing, riding 2 abreast, having less than 1mm of tyre tread, going through a red light to turn left, riding on the road where there's a cycle path. (points for getting all that are illegal and none that are legal)
and many more.
