Reader response to my "Rock the Bike" blog last week was off the charts, so before the excitement dwindles I'll tabulate the new list here (in no particular order). Some of these came in on Facebook; others via the Adventure Cycling blog -- so, chances are you haven't seen the entire list yet:
"Bicycle Race" by Queen
"Bicycle" by Livingston Taylor
"Bike" by Pink Floyd
Hit & Run (album name) by Sloan
"Brand New Key" by Melanie
"Broken Bicycles" by Tom Waits
"Blue Bicycle" by Brad Hoshaw
"My White Bicycle" by Nazareth (also by the Nuggets)
"Bicycle Song" by the Red Hot Chili Peppers
"My New Bicycle" by the Roches
"I'd Like That" by XTC
"Rockin' Bicycle (built for two)" by Fats Domino
"The Idiot on the Bike" by Aveo
"The Bicycle Song" by David Rovics (holy cow, I just noticed Rovics has his own Rock 'n' Bike playlist posted on his homepage ... my work is just beginning!)
There were a couple of other songs mentioned, but they were stretches. And then there were these comments:
"Also [Bruce] Springsteen's 'Hungry Heart': 'I went out for a ride and I never came back.' Out for a ride ... on his Surly Long Haul Trucker, Baby."
"I personally always convert the lyrics to the Arlo Guthrie's 'Motorcycle Song': 'I don't want a pickle, I just want to ride on my biiiii-cicle.'" (I love this song.)
The list will continue to grow. But I promise not to report back on the matter until I have at least 100 titles in hand.
