Bicycle Song

[Ana]

I randomly sing this to myself now and again...

Me too! Especially when I see a special bicycle--an odd one, a beautiful one, a sad looking one. . .does that make sense? Other times it just pops into my head.

It's my ringtone on my phone.

One of my all-time favorite jerseys.



I also thought it would be fun to try to re-create the cover of the album for my boyfriend as a pinup. Some red panties, a cycling cap, and the old '74 roadbike... and not much else. Someday I'll be brave enough to do this!

Someday?

Make it today. THen you can say "I DID THAT."

Umm gnat..in order to recreate the bike scene at Wembley in Bicycle Race you have to go completely nude. In the Magic Years doco series they had the producer tell the story of the naked models & that the bike company had to replace all the seats after the video...Ratty & the rest of the crew enjoyed it though

I'm surprised many of you in the US like the video as there's nudity in it..

Where do you get these ideas?

Me too. This song had been in my head for several weeks and I don't know why as I have not heard this song in a very long while.

Conveniently, it usually coincides with times when I have a strong desire to go on a ride

For the record (and although I'm a fairly conservative guy), I own and have the following framed and hanging on the wall:

Bicycle Race Jacket

Queen Jazz Album Insert

NYC Bicycle Race Poster

In addition, Silver has the Lance/Leibowitz Riding in the Rain photo - which she refers to as "art" hanging in her bathroom. I just obtained the Rebecca Romero Powerade ad photo.

I think that there are many countries that are more prudish on nudity than Americans...my guess is that we're mid range on the scale. I'd categorize the view more as protecting those who aren't seeking exposure to nudity from getting it shoved in their face. I'm not prudish but frankly, I've found some European billboards offensive...it's not the nudity, but the blatant sexuality.

PS: I like the song too! And now that I'm up with a caffeine withdrawal backlash - I too have it stuck in my head!
