A bicycle mixtape

Posted on
  • Listening to Spoon - Gimme Fiction this morning, and noticed that at the start of My Mathematical Mind there is the sound of a bicycle being freewheeled away.

    Later in the song, these lyrics:

    My mathematical mind can see the breaks
    So I'm gonna stop riding the brakes
    No no no no more ride the brakes

    The dude is riding brakeless (OK, my interpretation... but still).

    Then of course there are other slightly more famous bike songs like Queen's Bicycle Race and Fat Bottomed Girls ("Get on your bike and RIDE!").

    If you were making a mix tape or CD of bike songs, what would you add?

  • cLOUDDEAD - "Physics Of A Bicycle"

    Kraftwerk - "Tour de France"

  • Not all bike related as such but still relevant in my mind's eye…

    Riding On My Bike - Madness
    Riders On The Storm - The Doors
    Roads Must Roll - Boom Bip
    Happy Cycling - Boards Of Canada

  • Fix Up, Look Sharp - Dizzee Rascal

    :-P


  • We're on two wheels baby
    We're on two wheels baby

    We will come to your town
    Burn your house down
    Turn the sky brown
    All because, all because, all because
    ...
    No gears, no brakes
    No real, no fake


    Be Your Own Pet - Bicycle Bicycle You Are My Bicycle

  • *Rambo - Ulock Justice

    for every time i hear them say, get the fuck out of the way,
    i will defend my right of way, that heap of steel i'm gonna slay,
    i'll thrash you i'll bash you,
    i'll kick in your doors, break out your windows and scratch up your point,
    apologize for oil wars, apologize for polluting my air,
    in some cases cars are Ok, but when i'm on the street you're all my enemies.*

    I've never actually heard the song, but I've heard the title a few times.

    I'd give it to you if I could
    But I borrowed it"

  • Tocotronic - Freiburg

  • XTC - Seasons Cycle

    "Darling, don't you ever sit and ponder
    About the building of the hills a yonder
    Where we're going in this verdant spiral
    Who's pushing the pedals on the season cycle?
    Round and round and round and round

    I really get confused on who would make all this
    Everybody says join our religion get to Heaven
    I say no thanks why bless my soul
    I'm already there!"

  • Build Be your own Pet. Goes "Were on two wheels baby"
