Is 'Bicycle Race' by Queen the best song ever about cycling?
Hello fellow AC's
I have recently started educating my 2 and 6 year old to music other than kids stuff.
The current favourite in the car is 'Bicycle Race' off Queen's greatest hits 1.
Just a thought....with the TDF on, is this song the best song ever about cycling?
Any others you all know of ?
My little boy in particular now asks for the song to be put on every time he is in the car.
My daughter laughs and says it reminds her of me on my bike....
Maybe i need to put a bell back on !..........

Not really. I was born in 1970 but this is still my favourite riding song.

I would say that the Queen song is really low on my list of songs that are actually about cycling.
Try Luka Bloom's The Acoustic Motorbike
The Acoustic Motorbike
Luka Bloom
The day began with a rainbow in the sand
As I cycled into Kerry
Cattle grazing on a steep hillside
Looked well fed, well balanced
Close to the edge
Pedal on, pedal on, pedal on for miles
Pedal on
Pedal on, pedal on, pedal on for miles
Pedal on
I take a break, I close my eyes
And I'm happy as the dolphin
In a quiet spot talking to myself
Talking about the rain
Talking about the rain
All this rain
Pedal on
Pedal on, pedal on, pedal on for miles
Pedal on
You see whenever I'm alone
I tend to brood
But when I'm out on my bike
It's a different mood
I leave my brain at home
Get up on the sattle
No hanging around
I don't diddle-daddle
I work my legs
I pump my thights
Take in the scenery passing me by
The Kerry mountains or the Wicklow hills
The antidote to my emotional ills
A motion built upon human toil
Nuclear free needs no oil
But it makes me hot, makes me hard
I never thought I could have come this far
Through miles of mountains, valleys, streams
This is the right stuff filling my dreams
So come on, get up on your bike
Ah go on, get up on your bike
Pedal on
Pedal on, pedal on, pedal on for miles
Pedal on
Finally
With my face to that bitter wind
I bombed it into Killarney
Skin raw like a sushi dinner
And an appetite
That would eat the hind leg of the lamb of God
Even though you know
I wouldn't dream of doing such a thing
Then settle down for a quiet night
Think about what I've seen and done
And wonder
There's a reason for this
Now is the time
To speak of the problem troubling my mind
Sick of the traffic choking our towns
Freaking me out, bringing me down
Knock down houses, build more lanes
Once was a problem, now it's insane
My solution it's one that I like
It's Muddy
The Acoustic Motorbike
So come on, get up on your bike
Ah go on, get up on your bike
Pedal on
Pedal on, pedal on, pedal on for miles
Pedal on
Ah go on
Ah go on
Get up on your bike
Get up on your bike

tops! I wonder if CA and the Cyclones know about the use of the Aussie jersey - another piece of evidence why the Aussie team jerseies shouldnt be available to the public

And "Raindrops keep falling on my head" - song isn't about bicycles - but the video clip was, from Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid.
