Does anyone sing on their bike?

yup - I sing, whistle, hum ... you name it. My friends think I'm the crazy lady on the bike. Though, I work in a lab, and I frequently sing / hum / whistle there too completely forgetting that everyone can hear me in the hall tee hee ... I guess I just don't care that much.

Well this is my very first post (have been lurking for a while) and I had to respond because YES! I usually start singing old Girl Scout songs while climbing a really steep hill. Somehow it seems to help, but it drives my boyfriend crazy!!

When I used to race mtb's yes, I'd sing on particularly great downhill sections. At the top of my lungs. With a huge smile plastered on my face.

I sing, occasionally unabashedly. After all, most people are pleasantly surprised by song and my voice isn't amazing but it's generally not painful to listen to. When I had a motorcycle I'd tape lyrics to the gas tank and be my own radio. I'll make up songs ... there's one threatening to hatch right now about the "how're you gonna bonk me jubilation blues" (something about somebody who's taking me further and pushing me harder... and which kind of bonk will come at the end... and that it doesn't matter, I'll 'recover' either way )

And sometimes I'll sing on a long ride with a group, but I have to guess whether it will be a distraction or a demoralizer. When you're on a 35-pound bike going uphill and passing somebody on a litespeed, singing is considered rubbing his nose in it (not that I would *know* )

DH & I slow down and sing rounds in a certain tunnel on one of the local paths. We like the way it resonates. If the girls are along, we do it in four parts. (OK, we're music geeks )

A few weeks ago I caught myself singing the "I Have Confidence" song from "The Sound of Music"! It had been a rough day.... but it helped!
