Can't find a thread to read so reluctantly forced to start one.
Why do you sing while you're out riding?
I generally sing to myself, a mix of silently to myself and out loud, occasionally at full volume but usually kind of low volume. I guess I do it as it sets a cadence or something, or is Pavlovian... I don't set out to sing, it just kind of happens.
Songs I can't stop singing include -
Nirvana - Heart Shaped Box (chorus only, and I don't like the band or the song but it seems to be stuck in my head EVERY time I get on a bike).
Some song I wrote myself (years ago when I used to be a stoner) about Spanish MILFs & acid.
Bob Dylan - Tangled Up In Blue.
Eek-A-Mouse - Schoolboy (also used to sing this when dancing on the spot trying to get a hitch back in my hitch-hiking days).
No idea why they are stuck in my head, especially the Nirvana, but I'm willing to bet I sing at least one of them every single day while on the bike.
