Every Bike Has a Song
I find myself often comparing people to songs...or thinking what would their theme song be...so, it seems logical to do the same with bikes:
The Marnati - Pixies - The Happening Why? The carbon campy bits seem so alien to me and I like putting it down in the hammer lane. Raleigh International - The Kinks - Last of the Steam Powered Trains Why? It's just very traditional, and it still rides nicely and makes you nostalgic, but it's been passed by. Bauer's Merckx - Bruce - Glory Days This was the team we all dreamed about riding with ion 1991, when I was stronger, thinner, faster, had hair and everything was in front of me. I wasn't afraid of a 50+ descent. I'll come up with some more later. |
Step Aside Let The Man Go Through - Soul Coughing
My Trek 560, when I ride it I feel fast, at least for me. Passing little old ladies that's the song I hear in my head. |
The rhythm of the 1"-pitch block chain on my Zeus track bike does remind me of Led Zeeplin's "Trampled Underfoot", but that's the only one that comes to mind.

ALAN super record - the Giorgio Moroder of the bike world. High tech, groundbreaking, colourfull and still great after all those years!

Raleigh Sports: Johnny Cash, When the Man Comes Around.
Why? -because it is the most bad-ass bike ever made... OK, maybe not but I think so ;) |

Crap, I have no idea about mine because I don't listen to or think of music while I'm riding...I'm too busy listening to the drivetrain :) Although, if I were to attach songs to my bikes, it would be fair to say that they would be from one of the following: Kansas Alan Parsons James Taylor Al Stewart Pink Floyd Rush That'd about cover it :) |
Lol, a Cinelli Laser and the Alan Parsons project - perfect ride for dr. Evil
|
When i go fast its the theme song from Airwolf
|
My school commute back in the day was exactly as long as Stairway to heaven... when I left home on time. When I needed to go all out I could just make it to the tune of Ride the Lightning (IMHO the ultimate go-fast song).

Heh. . my new beater has a song
From Wrong to Right - Stryper crappy cell pic: http://i52.tinypic.com/smro11.jpg |
This is the best thread idea I've seen in a while. :D
My Fuji Opus III reminds me of Manuel De Falla's Ritual Fire Dance, particularly when climbing: and this version, if I was climbing in the Dolomites: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L5vHUODzcJ8 |

You seriously need to get involved in the "Countdown to Ecstasy" thread. You're needed over there, if Aaron is ever going to attain his high reply count goal.

When I run I always get either Time Trap or Broken Chairs stuck in my head. Both are by Built To Spill.
|
So then which steed(and there can only be one) is worthy to go with "Through The Fire And Flames" by Dragonforce?

i guess with all my mixtes the theme song would probably 'dude looks like a lady' by aerosmith
|
Dragonforce. . . ha.
|
I don't relate a specific song to a specific bike. I find myself thinking of songs with a good beat to keep me going. Substitute by The Who gets me going.
|
Saturday Night's Alright For Fighting - the tempo is about right, and with a tail wind "I get about as oiled as a diesel train"
