Reluctantly crouched at the starting line,
Engines pumping and thumping in time.
The green light flashes, the flags go up.
Churning and burning, they yearn for the cup.
They deftly maneuver and muscle for rank,
Fuel burning fast on an empty tank.
Reckless and wild, they pour through the turns.
Their prowess is potent and secretly stearn.
As they speed through the finish, the flags go down.
The fans get up and they get out of town.
The arena is empty except for one man,
Still driving and striving as fast as he can.
The sun has gone down and the moon has come up,
And long ago somebody left with the cup.
But he's driving and striving and hugging the turns.
And thinking of someone for whom he still burns.
He's going the distance.
He's going for speed.
She's all alone
In her time of need.
Because he's racing and pacing and plotting the course,
He's fighting and biting and riding on his horse,
He's going the distance.
No trophy, no flowers, no flashbulbs, no wine,
He's haunted by something he cannot define.
Bowel-shaking earthquakes of doubt and remorse,
Assail him, impale him with monster-truck force.
In his mind, he's still driving,still making the grade.
She's hoping in time that her memories will fade.
Cause he's racing and pacing and plotting the course,
He's fighting and biting and riding on his horse.
The sun has gone down and the moon has come up,
And long ago somebody left with the cup.
But he's striving and driving and hugging the turns.
And thinking of someone for whom he still burns.
Cause he's going the distance.
He's going for speed.
She's all alone
In her time of need.
Because he's racing and pacing and plotting the course,
He's fighting and biting and riding on his horse.
He's racing and pacing and plotting the course,
He's fighting and biting and riding on his horse.
He's going the distance.
He's going for speed.
He's going the distance.
Lonnie Utah said:So here's the deal with this thread. This was motivated by the "do you wear headphones thread" and should be fun. What I would like folks to do here is post what song you think should be the best song to bike to assuming you wore headphones. Anything goes, but I would like some justification as to your choice. If someone posts one you like you can second the nomination. In about a week, I'll take the top 10 or so and make it a poll. Come back and vote so we can determine what's the best cycling song EVER.
I'm going to nominate a few, but I'll start with Born to be Wild. The song is really upbeat to keep you pumping and the lyrics just seem to fit. I know it was written about a car, but in my eye, my "motor" is my legs
I aslo like Green Day's "Hitching a ride"
There's a drought at the fountain of youth, and now I'm dehydrating.
My tongue is swelling up, as say 1, 2. 1, 2, 3, 4.
This should get us going...
HAVE FUN !
Great tune - from the same album as "Ride Like The Wind"LIKESBIKES716 said:"SAILING" Christopher Cross. This song helps the visual imagery in my mind to guide my body pass the discomfort. Corny but hey....
I'm with Blimp on this one. And he's right about Sid.....Blimp said:Pink Floyd - Bike
"I've got a bike
You can ride it if you like
Its 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"
Written by the legendary Syd Barrat, before his indulgence for chemicals turned him into a complete nutter. Actually, taking another look at the lyrics, the chemicals may have already taken their toll.
As an aside, someone should take aside a couple of the posters on this forum and have a quiet word. I mean, Kenny Loggins...
and introduced in 'video' form by the legendary Gerry Todd of SCTV with one of the best song 'talk-ups' of all time. Ably assisted by Michael McDonald of the Doobies. Also parodied as 'Break Like the Wind' at one timecyberlegend1994 said:Great tune - from the same album as "Ride Like The Wind"
the van halen, van hagar, and creed-HIGHER....those are so money!lwedge said:I don't listen to music while I ride but I must say, music inspires me to ride and to daydream about riding.
To keep the legs going round and round up hills:
Gerry Raferty: The Ark - The Royal Mile
Van Morrison: Into the Mystic
Music to cruise:
Anything classical: Mozart, Rocmaninoff. Maybe some Paganini to pickup the pace.
Ride hard, catch the break away:
James Brown: Several songs but I really like - Sex Machine.
Billy Idol: White Wedding
Charlie Daniels: Drinking my baby good-bye.
Van Halen: Danc'n in the street - You really got me - Jump
Creed: Higher
Santana: Black Magic Woman (New version Live Mexico City)
Has anyone heard the Peter Green version (Fleetwood Mac)?
And for the last 2km and sprint:
Nothing better than, Van Halen: Hot for Teacher.
Oh yeah, and in case I'm dropped....
Don Ho : Tiny Bubbles

amen, LOTS of U2 will get you thru...Bumpy said:U2-Desire, Hollywood Tonight Remix, for rides through the city. The cadence is high enough to make you a fast target, harder to hit!
even better from that movie....and i still have it among the Journey songs on my WorkoutMix CD-----H46Driver said:"Lunatic Fringe" by Red Rider from the Visionquest soundtrack. There is no way that you can watch that movie and not be motivated - even 19 years after its release.
that's my favorite song after two homemade martinis...SilentGTboy said:For all those out there who's had Saddle problems:
Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb
