Why did you call it Bonked? 

Many players will think of something different when they hear the word Bonked.  To many cyclists, Bonked will mean you’re simply out of energy and can no longer go as fast as the others.  To bonk is also known as to “hit the wall” or to “crack”.  We chose to call the game Bonked to raise eyebrows! 

Can I lay a set of PROBLEM cards if a player before me has laid an Attack card?

You can only lay a Roadblock, GPS, Draft, Crash or another Attack (this doubles the number of cards to be picked up, i.e. so the next player must pick up 4), card after an Attack has been played on you.  No set of PROBLEM cards or Forgot my Wallet can be laid.  For example, you could lay a GPS card to see the top three, then lay a Crash card and then pick from the draw pile to end your go.  This will reduce the probability of you picking up a Bonked card. 

Must I show the Bonked card if I pick one from the draw pile?

YES - playing Bonked relies on trust and honesty.  Remember you can always put the Bonked card anywhere into the draw pile after you pick it to cause someone else suffering.
