This song actually DID inspire me to buy a "proper" bike in 1976 I think it was. Although the bike I got was yellow, not white! Still love this song...

With Machineries of Joy a close second, this is the finest cycling song currently in existence. It has to be said though, that new one the OP posted is a welcome addition.
What is the Lilac Harry Quinn reference all about? No reference to it in the song, only the final refrain of "Sturmey-Archer; Campagnolo"

Harry Quinns is the best known bike shop in Liverpool. In th'olden days, to say you had a Harry Quinn was a boast that your bike had an inbuilt superiority. I think he's just thrown the word 'lilac' in though!
