Being the jazz guitarist of the group I suggest put on Spain in honor of the late Chick Corea. The tunes changes a lot and good for intervals slow then double time. Deacon Mark |

Speaking of musical things: I know musical taste is a tremendously individual thing. It's probably more contentious than helmets or chain lubes. But this song was just played on our kitchen stereo. It's by Matt Heaton, an avid cyclist and a very skilled guitarist. It's a sweet tale of developing and passing on a love of cycling: "Giant of the Road." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wg1etMKF3zY I can't think of too many other bike-related pieces of music. There's Queen's "Bicycle Race" ; there's Luka Bloom's "The Acoustic Motorbike" And here's an energetic and poetic description of a bicycle tour (and much else) by Alex Bevan: "Orion Dancing on the Roof." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n3QKydE9K34 Any other bike-related tunes or songs you like? since all the unrelated crap is being attached. I might as well throw in The Goodies opening theme song, where they are riding a three seater bicycle. |

One of the last lines in the third verse is interesting: "I will permit you to use the brake." Our tandem has an open cable running to the rear brake. I've been careful to never explain to my wife that she could apply the rear brake by simply pulling upward on that cable. ;-) -- - Frank Krygowski |
