What's the best cycling song?

[PaulB]

I don't mean a song you like to listen to or hum while you're cycling but a song specifically about cycling?

For me, it's got to be "A Lilac Harry Quinn" from Half Man Half Biscuit with it's final chorus of "Sturmey Archer, Campagnolo on my mind." Superb stuff but unfortunately never captured for posterity and put up on You Tube

Tour De France by Kraftwerk. No contest.

Contest! A Lilac Harry Quinn! A shop most of us know and components we all know and put together in a great song!

I'm going to be obvious and go for Bicycle Race by Queen.

[John the Monkey]

"Bravo Eddy" By Jean Narcy, or "La Bicyclette" (I think) by Annie DuParc.

 

[Mr Phoebus]

The Wheel-sucker Song

The Mixtures, actually.

A common mistake to make though.

I've always thought 'My White Bicycle' by Nazareth was enough.

 

[Lardyboy]

I always have place for this.

You? It was a cruel person indeed who suggested that Mercury be buried on his hands and knees so his partner would have somewhere to park his bike.



What?
