Several other songs have a close third.
Primus. Jerry was a race car driver. (Willy was a track bike rider.. my version).
Jay Z. 99 Problems. (It's got that BIG sound).
The Orb. Transamerican Express Highway. (long and trancy)
I'm kind of liking the new Prodigy album. But undecided.
Haven't heard the new Prodigy.
99 Problems is probably my favorite song off the Grey Album.
However, I've always connected Primus with mtn. biking. The first time I heard them I was 15 and a mechanic from our LBS and one of his riding buddies took my brother and I up into the local mountains for our first ever ride on our area's finest singletrack (Santa Ana River Trail. SoCal mtb'ers will probably recognize the name.). My brother raved about this great band that Leonard was playing, so on the way back down the hill we switched vehicles and I got to listen to Seas Of Cheese and it blew my mind which was already reeling from epic singletrack. Memorable day that

Lots of good music in this thread. Think I'll peruse it for all the songs I actually own and try them out on a "commuting" playlist
.
Anyone geek out enough to pay attention to where they are at certain times in a commute or regular route and build a playlist accordingly? Fast songs at the bases of hills, slower stuff for flat cruisy sections, etc.
Not sure I could narrow it down to three, but three that spring to mind are:
Tom Waits - Goin' Out West
Op Ivy - Sound System
Aphex Twin - Come to Daddy
-Trevor
