is the guy second from right doing a joey face or what?

being as shes "Riding on my bike through the streets all day" and its London, its fair shout that the said machine is indeed of fixed gear variety,she is regarded as some kind of trendsetter after all

I wish i was in Fixieland.

Here is where I admit my shortcomings (yet again, today).
I haven't a clue who you are. I hardly know who anyone is on the forum. I'm sure we've met loads of times and had wonderful drinks and laughed at each others jokes...
But that was real life. I don't know who most people are on here.

Generally I hang around Mary's house sexually harrassing her in a hoarse voice, trying to goad her into playing Scrabble. I answer to the name "Tom" (the "." is generally silent in casual social scenarios).

I am the fixie man
and I come from down your way
and i can ride
(what can you ride).
....

and so on.

Leo Sayer. when i need you.

Deep down in East London close to Hackney
Way back up on Brick Lane below the railway,
There stood a studio flat made of spit and piss
Where lived a hipster named Johnny B Skid,
Who never ever learned to read or write so well
But he could skid his back tyre just like a ringin' a bell?

Fixed

very good though still ed

Johnny B. Goode is a wicked tune i might add

archi pelago you're my new hero

Fan Club badge on its way.

archi pelago, that was pretty immense.. interesting that you went for 'raleigh grifter' rather than chopper, which would have rhymed a lot better!

Both are in there!! Showing my age a bit with those ones though :(

Shit, just checked and you are right, thought I put both in?? Have now changed it to Chopper. Your part of the royalties check is in the post.

not a song but when i was at glastonbury a swear mike skinner of the streets asked "who knows what a lo-pro is?" but then again i was quite pissed...

Not sure if this is strictly about fixed wheel bicycles but I like it anyway.

Doug and Sally inside
They cookin' for the Down Pipe
Who's staring at Miss Rayon
Who's busy licking off her Pig Pen
I'm searching for my mainline
I said I couldn't hit it sideways
I said I couldn't hit it sideways
Aw just like Sister Ray said
Whip it on.

Rosie and Miss Rayon
They're busy waiting for her booster
Who just got back from Carolina
She said she didn't like the weather
They're busy waiting for her sailor
Who's big and dressed in pink and leather
He's just here from Alabama
He wants to know a way to earn a dollar
I'm searching for my mainer
I said I couldn't hit it sideways
I couldn't hit it sideways
Aw just like Sister Ray said
Lay it on him.

Cecil's got his new piece
He cocks it shoots it between three and four
He aims it at the sailor
Shoots him down dead on the floor
Oh you shouldn't do that
Don't you know you'll stain the carpet
Now don't you know you'll stain the carpet
And by the way have you got a dollar
On no man I haven't got the time-time
To busy sucking on a ding-dong
She's busy sucking on my ding-dong
Oh she does just like Sister Ray said
I'm searching for my mainline
I said c-c-c-couldn't hit it sideways
I said c-c-c-c-c-c-couldn't hit it sideways
Ah do it do it just su-su-su-suck
That's ju-ju-just excellente
Oh!

Now who is that knocking
Who's knocking at my chamber door
Now could it be the police
They come and take me for a ride-ride
Oh but I haven't got the time-time
Hey hey hey she's busy sucking on my ding-dong
She's busy sucking on my ding-dong
Aw now do it just like Sister Ray said
I'm searching for my mainline
I couldn't hit it sideways
I couldn't hit it sideways
Oh now just like
Oh just like
Ah just like
Ah just like
Oh just like
Oh just like.

Doug and Sally inside
Now move it along
Cookin' for the Down Pipe
Who's staring at Miss Rayon
Do it do it do it do it do it do it
Who's licking off Pig Pen
I'm s-s-s-searching for my mainline
I couldn't hit is sideways
I couldn't hit it sideways
Just like
Oh just like
Do it do it do it
Just like
Just like
Just like.

Now Rosie and Miss Rayon
They busy waiting for her booster
She's just back from Carolina
She said she's bound to beat a sailor
I said she haven't got the time-time
You're busy sucking on my ding-dong
You busy sucking on my ding-dong
Now just like Sister Ray said
I'm searching for my mainline
I said I couldn't hit it sideways
Whip it on me Jim
Whip it on me Jim
Whip it on me Jim
Whip it on me Jim
Said I couldn't hit it sideways
Oh do it now just like
Just like Sister Ray said.

I said now Cecil's got his new piece
He cocks it shoots it bang between three and four
He aims it at the sailor
He shoots him down dead on the floor
Oh you shouldn't do that
Don't you know you'll hit the carpet
Don't you know you'll mess the carpet.

Oh she hasn't got the time-time
Busy sucking on his ding-dong
She's busy sucking on his ding-dong
Now just like Sister Ray said
I'm searching for my mainline
Couldn't hit it sideways
Couldn't hit it sideways
And just like
And just like
And just like
S-Sister Ray said
Now do it to him.

Doug and Sally inside
They're busy cooking for the Down Pipe
Who's staring at Miss Rayon
Busy licking off her Pig Pen
I'm busy searching for my mainline
I said I couldn't hit it sideways
I said I couldn't hit it sideways
Now just like
Now just like
I said ah-uh
Just like
Amph-ph-ph-ph-phetimine.

Transcribing this lyric took someone at least seventeen minutes.

It's not about fixie-wheel bikes, though, Clive. It's about gear.

^ I just had to quote that in full. It was irresistibly compulsive.

Deep down in London close to Hackney
Way back up on Brick Lane below the railway,
There stood a studio flat made of spit and piss
Where lived a hipster named Johnny B Goode,
Who never ever learned to read or write so well
But he could ride a fixie just like a ringin' a bell?

Good effort. Now to make it actually fit the music:

Deep down in North-east London close to Hackerney,
Way back up Homerton among the Marshes green,
There stood a brick terrace made of mud and wood,
Where lived a hipster boy named Tristram Y. Blud,
Who never ever learned to dress and style so well,
But he could skid a fixed bike just like a ringing a bell.

Go go
Go Tristram go
Go
Go Tristram go
Go
Go Tristram go
Go
Go Tristram go
Go
Tristram Y. Blud

He used to bunny hop his bike till it nearly cracked,
Or wheelie to the bars beneath the railroad track
Oh, the fashion victims saw him riding in the straaeet
Pedalling with the rhythm that his iPod made.
The people passing by, they would stop and say,
Oh my, that little hipster boy could sway.

Go go
Go Tristram go
Go
Go Tristram go
Go
Go Tristram go
Go
Go Tristram go
Go
Tristram Y. Blud

His mother told him "Someday you will be a man,
And you will be the leader of a big old gang.
Many people coming from miles around
To see you trackstand no-hand when the sun goes down.
Maybe someday your name will be in lights,
Saying 'Tristram Y. Blud tonight'."

Go go
Go Tristram go
Go go go Tristram go
Go go go Tristram go
Go go go Tristram go
Go
Tristram Y. Blud

This song is a about missed connections between cyclists

Samantha Fox - Fixie

Full moon in the city
And the night was young
I was hungry for love
I was hungry for fun

I was hunting you down
And I was the bait
When I saw you there
I upped my pedaling rate

This is the night
This is the night
This is the time we've got to get it right

(This is the night)
Fixie, fixie
I want to see your wheelie
Your Reynolds next to mine
(This is the night)
Fixie, fixie now

Quick as a flash you disappeared into the night
What's your cadence boy?
Didn't I treat you right?
You made me feel so good
Made me feel myself
Now I'm alone & you're on lfgss

This is the night, yeah
This is the night
This is the time we've got to get it right

(This is the night)
Fixie, fixie
I want to see your wheelie
Your Reynolds next to mine
(This is the night)
Fixie, fixie now
Fixie, fixie now
Fixie, fixie now
Fixie, fixie now

Taxi drivers denting my frame
I could not decide between pleasure & pain
Like a crank in the night
I was spinning for you
To treat my paintjob like you wanted to

Uh....
Uh, it's spinning for you

(This is the night)
Fixie, fixie
I want to see your wheelie
Your Reynolds next to mine
(This is the night)
'Cos I want your paintjob all the time
