    Meet Joyce.

    Joyce Nyaruri won her first race riding a cheap, rattling, Chinese-made, sit-up-and-beg style bicycle known locally (and ironically) as a “Black Mamba”, after one of the fastest-moving snakes on Earth. It was 2009, and she was cycling 264km a week to get to and from work at a nearby flower farm in central Kenya. Her job paid 7,500 shillings ($86) a month, most of which she used to pay for her younger siblings’ education.
    ……
    A benefactor once bought Nyaruri a mountain bike to help her feed her family. In six years, she has earned enough to do that, and to buy a house. She recently started a cycling club for 8-12 year olds, to encourage more to take up the sport

    Sorry.

    But it is the only song I know that mentions Tebay services.
    And the last line is genius.
