I've just got back from three days of glorious but very rainy cycling through Holland and Germany along the Rhine.

My amazing wife suggested this:

Let's hear your cycling related songs.

Hawkwind’s Silver machine is about a bike apparently!

I’m surprised there isn’t anything in the HMHB back catalogue given that Nigel is apparently quite a keen cyclist.

Another Half Man Half Biscuit effort although I'll admit that the only thing relevant to cycling is the actual title.

As well as the couple noted above, there's also A Lilac Harry Quinn.

Elgar is famous for not just being a composer, but also a cyclist. I tried to find something by him about cycling, but nothing obvious came up.

But I found out he quit cycling after a few years because he found the increasing numbers of cars in London too intimidating.

In the olden days I owned My White Bicycle by Tomorrow. I played it to a mate who was convinced the lyric was My Wife's Bisexual

Got to be Viv Stanshall and Terry keeps his clips on.

I thought he wore his clips while mowing the lawn to stop wasps getting up his trouser legs.

Horrible story line (as a cyclist) But also a great story....

Rude and cheesy, but fun....

Isn't there a Diana Ross song about her favourite online bike shop?

you know Hawkwind's Silver Machine was specifically about riding a silver road bike on LSD... all makes sense now. 'spose road biking could be fun if you go all Lance about it.

Coincidence - had to dig out this track for my son's 21st party this weekend, he used to love it when he was a nipper
