After a few minutes of trying, I've found I may be a robot. I failed the reCaptcha exam.

Captchas are a complete and utter scam to gather ML-data.

lmao scam? This is intended purpose and open knowledge. Just because you don't like it doesn't make it a scam.

Still kinda a scam cause theyre dogshit at their sold for purpose, and profit off it

Ironically they're a cybercriminal's best friend since if they layer multiple of them together on your site they can annoy online enforcers (and in the case of scrapers, keep out) who might otherwise shut the site down.

They don't work so well Against targeted attacks but many searches when finding infringing sites are just searches for sites that are infringing.

Anyone reading this, ALWAYS DO THE AUDIO ACCESSIBILITY ONE

It’s SO much easier and never has you do like fifty.

Be that as it may, OP should probably ideally be able to identify a bicycle without breaking the system.

It's never really about identifying anything, recaptcha cares way more about data it has on you to determine if you're a human or not. If you've ever tried to google search with a VPN or Tor it makes it really fuckin annoying
