    That list doesn’t feature anything by ”The Cyclist” (who, I’d hazard a guess, is a cyclist)
    or, my personal fave “Steal your bike” by The Marlon Jacksons (Si Begg remix)

    😀

    It’s got Nine Million Bicycles by The Melua, though, Dezzie. A sure-fire classic, that!

    I’ve just made up one for the bonus features of your soundtrack.

    It’s a jaunty ditty in A flat (the cyclist’s least favourite key. Hur-hur-hur) and the lyrics go something like:

    Man oh! man I like to ride a bike
    Its, like, way cooler than being out there on a hike
    Or hangin’ all day with my thumb in a dyke
    Oh how (how, how, how) I love to ride my bike

    That’s just a taster. 5% commission and you can have the whole thing. 😉

    Riding down those bumpy tracks
    Nearly makes me fill my cacks
    I would jump all the massive gaps
    Unfortunately I roll them cos my skill level lacks

    Nice, Dez!

    But can you beat my latest effort, eh?

    The STW Song
    (Unless I’m stuck behind Molly)

    Got my niche coffee maker
    Gnarled my 29er in a crater
    Got an Orange? Seez ya later
    Unless I’m stuck behind Molly

    * to be sung to the tune of ‘what do you do with a drunken sailor?’ *

    The bassist out of Rage Against The Machine is a keen cyclist isn’t he? I’m sure I have seen a picture of him on a TT bike with decals picked off of the Bontrager wheels to spell ‘rage’.
