Bicycle Music

[RedRider]

A gentle* ride through the musical landscape of cycling on the iPlayer 'til Sunday 25/9.



*so long as we 'skirt' round the Amelia Jenks Bloomer reference, eh?

Thanks for posting that.. most enjoyable.

It reminded me of one of my favourite bicycle songs, although it's not got any words; Basilique de la Bicyclett by Geert Chatreu ... sums up the joys of pedalling perfectly. [sub](click on basilique de bicyclette from the Chatroubadour LP)[/sub]

Cheers for that, I like it a lot. Not enough whislting in recorded music!

Not enough bicycle music either, compared to hymnbooks for cars and trains.

I also love the score to Sunday in Hell with it's monk-ish chants (Par-ee-ee! Rooooo-ubaix!) and tape/electronics wizardry. It was by an experimental Danish composer called Gunner Møller Pedersen but as far as I can tell never had a release seperate from the film. If anyone knows different I'd like hear.
