Bike-y music

[KnottedYet]

There is no way I'd EVER be riding with earphones. Ever. I'm not stupid. So don't anyone even think of telling me not to ride with earphones here.

All I'm saying is....

I totally appreciate this song, which feels like a bike ride. Bouncing in my kitchen chair with happiness!

"Sweet Rhythm" by The Frank and Joe Show.

I cannot find it on Youtube, so go to your iTunes store and pull it up. Brings a "tide" of bliss to your laundry, "joy" to your dishwashing, and makes you "pledge" to go for a ride after dusting.

- Knot, who DOES wear earphones while doing housework.

PS: any of y'all have some good bike-y music I can add to my housecleaning playlist?

"bicycle race" by Queen.

I want to ride my bicycle, I want to ride my bike.
Bicycle bicycle...

something like that. Up beat fun music from the '70s Freddie Mercury had am amazing voice. I think you can find it on youtube.

I think if I were to ride with my ipod...I'd rock the hills to Next Go Round by nickleback and maybe Journey's Don't Stop Believin'...maybe not for cycling, but mopping the hardwood forsure...

Possibly not your style, however, there's something about these songs (the lyrics, sound) that either remind me of riding, get me ready to ride, or I enjoy listening to when I'm on the trainer.
