Top 10 Bicycle Songs
I'm not sure what it is about the Tour De France that sucks me in, but I love to watch it. You wouldn't think that watching a bicycle race on television could be compelling, but it is. As we come into the final stages of this year's Tour De France seeing a 37-year old Lance Armstrong with a shot at standing on the podium is inspiring. But for me it's more than just Lance and his amazing story. I love the strategy and seeing the French countryside dotted with crazy fans. As the race winds down this year I thought I would put together a list of bicycle songs that I feel are the very best. Some of them are obvious picks, others not so much, but they're all excellent in their own way.
What are your favorite bike-inspired songs?

One other addition could be Madness' "Riding On My Bike", the answer song to their own "Driving In My Car". It showed up on the maxi single of "Driving".
It's got a basket, a bell that rings
And things to make it look good.
I'd give it to you if I could, but I borrowed it.
You're the kind of girl that fits in with my world.
I'll give you anything, everything if you want things."
Haha Pink Floyd, bloody legends!!!
It may not have the word "bike" in the title but it fits.
