The Best Bicycle Songs
0
Riding a bicycle is something that some of us take for granted, but it is a fun privilege and a learned skill. Many singers and songwriters have enjoyed the many pleasures of bike riding and have been so inspired by their rides or observing others ride that they composed some fantastic songs from a wide variety of genres about bikes and bicycle riding.
Perhaps the first song that may come to mind is “Bicycle Built for Two,” an old classic song that was originally released in 1892. It’s charming and will likely bring a big smile to your face.
Pink Floyd, the psychedelic rock band, recorded a song called “Bike” from their very first album that was titled “The Piper at the Gates of Dawn.” It’s both a song with a story and one that’s a bit abstract; the song’s narrator shows a girl his bike as well as a homeless mouse, a cloak, and even some gingerbread men.
