Cycle City Songs!

Hello everyone!

With temperatures in the 60s yesterday and today... people zipping around the city without nasty old man winter smacking them about the face and neck... I thought I'd list some of my favorite songs which are about, mention or could conjure images of bicycles.

My White Bicycle - Tomorrow

Bicycle Race - Queen

Tour de France - Kraftwerk

Hey Now - Talking Heads (David Byrne sings about wanting to buy a bike & wrote Bicycle Diaries)

This Charming Man - The Smiths (A punctured bicycle - On a hillside desolate...)

Riding On My Bike - Madness

Theme from Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure - Danny Elfman

The Bicycle Song - Red Hot Chili Peppers

Ride - The Dandy Warhols (the ride mentioned is motorized, but mine is pedal-powered)

Handlebars - Flobots (the beauty of simplicity & the potential horror wrought by the complex)

Bicycle - The Jellydots

Goodbye to snow, ice and salted streets. Hello to sun, warm breezes and the sound of bells, horns and "on your left".

Stay young and invincible!

Peace
