Does anyone sing on their bike?

[Zen]

Personally, the one that gets stuck in my head the most is the Simon and Garfunkel song (don't remember the title)..."slow down, you move to fast....You've gotta make the morning last...."

What makes you sing that?
Are you Feelin Groovy?
it's really the 59th Street bridge Song

GEONZ I like that song already. put it on You Tube for us

A few weeks ago on my morning commute, I saw a man wearing an orange-sherbet colored striped shirt with a matching tie, and I thought to myself that he looked like a dandy.

That led me to the old New Christy Minstrels song Today that has the line "I'll be a dandy and I'll be a rover, you'll know who I am by the song that I sing." (The old folks in the crowd will remember it.)

I sang that song out loud for weeks while commuting. People looked at me funny, but in a nice way, not in a "she's weird" way. At least that's what I told myself...

For some reason, ElO's "Mr Blue Sky" pops into my head as I climb certain hills and I find myself humming it. I think it might be because the beat of the song matches the cadence I naturally fall into. I still love the song, even though it's sort of an intrusion into my thoughts. So happy and bouncy.

Oh. Crud. I'm officially old. I think I saw them sing that song on the Andy Williams show or something like it...

No, usually, it pops into the head when I'm pushing the pace...I wanna be out there longer, not shorter!

When I'm dragging, it is the Rawhide theme...Rolling, rolling, rolling...keep those bikes a rollin (memorize the words? Heck, no! Make 'em up as you go a long--never the same song twice! Never boring!)

And, when I'm riding down a road that was once a pretty rural road, but isn't anymore...."little boxes on the hillside...little boxes made of ticky tacky" (Pete Seeger sang it) or Joni Mitchell's Big Yellow Taxi..."they paved paradise to put up a parking lot..."

Wow....I'm really dating myself, aren't I? No, wait, I love retro music! Yeah, that's it!

I love Pet Seeger and that is such a great song! I sing that one too.

When I get dropped in a road race and I'm out in the middle of bfe Georgia or Florida, the song "All by myself" pops in my head

All by myself
Don't wanna be
All by myself
Anymore....

and I have my own little pity party until I can get it together again... haha!



I sing a lot on my rides, or hum to myself.

Have been thinking about this... and you know, since it came up in the thread about the Sesame Street 'YipYips' a couple of weeks ago, I have "sung" the yip yip song.

It works in "slo-mo" when grinding up a hill... yip...(then breath in) yip...(then breath in) yip...(then breath in) yip...(then breath in) yip...(then breath in) yip...(then breath in) yip...(breath in) aha... aha...

... and all the way to the top of the climb...

yip yip...
