Overall: 
Created 26 May, nominated two days later. Easily long enough. No citation/copyvio problems, hook is cited and interesting. ALT1 is confusing and uninteresting, and ALT0 is uninteresting (just sounds like a normal circus to me), so I have a strong preference for ALT2. Image is public domain and used in the infobox of the article. This one looks good to go. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 16:04, 15 June 2022 (UTC)
- Comment: I've cut "cyclists" from the hook, Sahaib – I can't find it in the source, and I'm not inclined to trust the advertising. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/they) 08:20, 16 June 2022 (UTC)
