In reverence for Syd's death (due to the fact that he wrote Bike from Piper at the Gates of Dawn (http://www.pink-floyd-lyrics.com/html/bike-piper-lyrics.html)), I would like to start a thread listing good bike-themed songs. Any tributes to the Crazy Diamond himself are of course welcome.

Bike by Pink Floyd, written by Syd himself. RIP Syd. :(

I've got a bike
You can ride it if you like
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

I've got a cloak
It's a bit of a joke
There's a tear up the front
It's red and black
I've had it for months
If you think it could look good
Then I guess it should

You're the kind of girl that fits in with my world
I'll give you anything
Everything if you want things

I know a mouse
And he hasn't got a house
I don't know why
I call him Gerald
He's getting rather old
But he's a good mouse

You're the kind of girl that fits in with my world
I'll give you anything
Everything if you want things

I've got a clan of gingerbread men
Here a man
There a man
Lots of gingerbread men
Take a couple if you wish
They're on the dish

You're the kind of girl that fits in with my world
I'll give you anything
Everything if you want things

I know a room full of musical tunes
Some rhyme
Some ching
Most of them are clockwork
Let's go into the other room and make them work

Holy ****, Syd died? Must have died today I'm thinking. The ironic thing is that I was listening to Pink Floyd for most of the workday instead of listening to the radio and thats why I hadn't heard.
