"On your bike? Not likely, study finds"

"...the small numbers of people who do try cycling tend to be intimidated by the overwhelmingly car-oriented urban layouts" (Guardian)


FOUR WHEELS GOOD, TWO WHEELS BAD
(to be sung to 'Bicycle Races' by Queen)

Why cycle? why cycle? why cycle?
You want to ride your bicycle, bicycle, bicycle

You want to ride your bicycle
You want to ride your bike
Don't even think to try 'n  cycle
Just go and take a long long hike

You say two, I say four
You say bell, I say horn
You say ride, I say hey man
Bikes were never my scene
And I do like car doors
I say Rolls, I say Royce
You say God give me a choice
You say Lord, I say Christ
I don't believe in Peter Pan
Daisy Daisy, Velo man

All I want to do is.... (REPEAT FIRST VERSE)

Bicycle places aren't coming your way
So that's pornographic? oh yeah
Fat bottomed girls won't be riding today
They're so scared of the traffic oh yeah

On your marks, get set, go
Horsepower race, horsepower race, horsepower race

Why cycle? why cycle? why cycle?
You want to ride your bicycle, bicycle, bicycle

You want to ride your bicycle
You want to ride your bike
Don't even think to try 'n cycle
Just go and take a bloody hike
