Inspired by the "Jazz" thread... And cos it's Monday morning and I need a distraction.
If the different branches of cycling were represented by bands what would you suggest?
DH- AC /DC instantly recognised and pretty loud...
Trials - Superstar DJ repackaged and looped
Endurance Bike packing - Sigur Ros odd atmospheric and quite hard to get into for any length of time.
The type of cycling that I do = the theme tune from Steptoe and Son

This'll be me....
Long distance road racing.. hmm, just can't think of any music that would go with the "Tour De France" ... 😉

Also works for Chris Froome running up Mount Ventoux this summer 😉
Depends on the perspective for my type of riding.
In my mind it'd be a bit Motorhead, those watching would be thinking the Laurel and Hardy theme tune.

Bouncy and faintly ridiculous.
Single speeding- either something punk crusty and loud and political, but simple like crass or extreme noise terror
Or the other branch of single speeding which seems to have turned into fatbloke drinkinging massive quantities of ale being hugely misogynistic and hardly looking at a bike, then the macc lads
Carter USM - Surfin' USM ("You Fat B*stard"..)
my backing track is this
and after 30s of that, it will be yours too for the rest of the day.
