Riding bikes is fun and easy. You feel a breeze when you ride a bike. You can go steady and slow or quick and fast on a bike. Biking is so much fun for everyone.
To the tune of My Favorite Things by Rodgers and Hammerstein...
Pop-ups and wheelies and brodies and skids,
A hand-me-down junker to play with the big kids -
We'd play Red Baron, though I was a tyke -
Now I remember my favorite bikes.
While good transportation, it was, for me,
I wanted a Schwinn Stingray under the tree.
Candy apple-red - what kid wouldn't like!?
Now, I remember my favorite bikes.
Freedom and speed, and the feel of the wind -
My ten-speed became this boy's best friend,
No offense to Jeff, or Alan or Mike -
but I remember my favorite bikes.
When old age brings
Things I dislike
and I'm feeling sad,
I simply remember my favorite bikes,
and then I don't feel so bad.
if you wanted to find us in sixty-five
follow the bikes, to see if we’re alive
we’re all in one yard playing something or another
every woman in the neighborhood is our surrogate mother
Bikes bring you places
Rugged terrain, dense forest
That cars never see.
Those Bikes
See the goth heavy metal custom motorcycle
Ride past with a long haired rider
Dressed how they should be dressed
Black jeans t shirt denim leather
Low rider chopper as it should be
With twin coffin saddle bags
What a ride to the other side
Give him Devil fingers\M/!
Then there was a classic looking bike
Parked up alone
And I saw two racing bikes
One with a fairing the other naked
Heard his engine as he passed
A man asked me on the bridge
Where am I going?
Planet Mars on a custom bike
With my chick and loud tunes
Hissing cars
Swishing trucks
Rumbling bikes
Life is a highway
Really?
Combusting cylinders
Pumping pistons
Turning crankshaft
Spinning flywheel
Engaging transmission
Motoring drive
Tranferring power
Rolling tires
Hissing
Swishing
Rumbling
Crash and burn
Life goes on
What's cooler and juicier
Than a long-striped rime of green,
Whose internals are fortified with
An explosion of mesmerizing desire?
Or a total circle of green without stripes,
Protectively enclosing the best of eats,
Thoroughly permeated by the color of pure red,
And speckled throughout with seeds of black?
Or if you prefer, no seeds at all to delay your treat.
And what's more tastier my friend, than a softly textured cut
Of mouth-watering goodness bite after bite after watery bite?
An oasis of succulence and sweetness to the taste of healthy Goodness awaits our sense of taste each summer with nothing To prep; nothing to waste. A watermelon sweet and cold is Like A free-wheeling bicycle ride along the countryside.

On gravel mountain path,
underneath shadowed pine crowns: friends ride mountain bikes,
where none hath
neath sapphire sky.
Roller coaster, fun lighting strikes,
runs bye.
Wearing
down bends, turnpikes,
in
swooping dust inward wrath.
Their enlivening heartbeat spikes.
Win!

Along the hikes of thunder spikes
The rest of us are scared
Nobody likes the lightning strikes
That catch us unprepared
Except the tykes who ride the bikes
That somebody repaired.

At times our Golden tends to go awry
She chases people on bikes, let me clarify
She doesn't ride the bike
Doesn't own one, no dice
You thought I meant our doggie, needs no reply
How do cops on bikes arrest someone
They say, “Get in the basket till I finish my muffin”
Now why do cops
Love donut shops
Donuts tend to make them big and strong and tough-n
Four pedals rusting --
screech of bikes
grates love’s uphill climb

from trikes to bikes
to speed needs thigh straddled ~
male toy cycle
they go fast and slow
up down and around
some ride together
in the nices weather
side by side
they ride and talk
its
BIKES AND BORAD WALK
Snakes and Bikes
Snakes rides bicycles
Snakes can't ride bikes got no legs
They just wrap around
