Boo! First song is Luka Bloom "Acoustic Motorbike"

Does that even QUALIFY as a bicycle song?

oh, yeah, acoustic motorbike is good - don't go by the title. I have the cd.

Descendents - "Bikeage"

Also bike-related in title only

"Acoustic Motorbike" seems to clearly be about a bicycle ride in Ireland. Am I wrong about this?

Schmoo - correct.

I very much like this song, even if it's rather too easy a lyric.

Ooh, ooh - that led me to Turin Brakes, "Painkiller". Great.

I keep thinking about assembling a mix, never get to it.

No helmet or lights! Tsk, tsk...

Perfect for a pittsburgh summer day, I think:

Ok, I admit, I was a little harsh on the Acoustic Motorbike comment.....I do like the song, I do agree that it is bicycle themed, BUT the title uses the term "motorbike" in a sort of tongue in cheek way, with acoustic presumably meaning non-motorized. But, for a quick second as I wrote that, I was wondering if the folks at WYEP would ferret out "real" bicycling songs. Then I realized that it was WYEP, and these were listener nominated, so I had no real worries. But, I couldn't remove the original post.
