The song was written by Freddie Mercury and was inspired by watching the 18th stage of the 1978 Tour de France passing Montreux, where the band were recording Jazz in the Mountain Studios.[5][6] It starts with a chorus unaccompanied by instruments. The chorus is followed by two verses connected with a bridge, both followed by a chorus. Around the middle of the song is a solo played with numerous bicycle bells. The song has an unusual chord progression with numerous modulations, a change of metre (from 4

4 to 3

4) in the bridge, and multitracked vocal and guitar harmonies.[7]

Brian May has said that the song was not an autobiographical portrait of Mercury and that Mercury did not particularly enjoy bicycling, also noting that despite the lyric "I don't like Star Wars", Mercury was a Star Wars fan.[10]

The song references the band's song "Fat Bottomed Girls" with the line "fat bottomed girls, they'll be riding today". "Fat Bottomed Girls" reciprocates with "Get on your bikes and ride!" The two songs were released together as a double A-sided single.

Filmed by Denis de Vallance, the promotional video featured 65 nude women, all professional models, bicycle racing at Wimbledon Greyhound Stadium, southwest London. The group rented the stadium and several dozen bicycles for one day for filming the scene; however, when the renting company became aware of the way their bikes were used, they requested that the group purchase all the bicycle seats.[5][11] The original video used special effects to hide the nudity.[12] However, due to the nudity, the video is age-restricted on YouTube and banned in several countries, including China.

The song was released as a single and is also included in the following albums and box sets: Queen, Bohemian Rhapsody, 15 Of The Best, Queen Live In Concert, Greatest Hits and The Singles Collection Volume 1.[13]

The single was mostly distributed in 1978, on 7-inch vinyl records, with "Fat Bottomed Girls" on the B-side and EMI record label. In Argentina, the titles were translated as "Carrera de Bicicletas" and "Chicas Gordas" respectively. The labels were changed to Pepita in Hungary and to Elektra in the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Japan. The Polish issue had the label of Tonpress[14] and either "Spread Your Wings" or nothing on the B-side. Both 7-inch and 12-inch records were issued in the US; there the song also appeared in 1979, on the B-side of the single "Crazy Little Thing Called Love". In nearly all countries, the covers featured a backside photo of a naked woman on a racing bike, with a red bikini painted over the original photo.[5][15] A brassiere was added to the US covers.[16][17]

From the lyrics of this song it appears Annie Clark also had her bicycle stolen at some point. She seems to have bought a new one, a she was spotted riding this cool Brompton with a cup holder in 2015.

This song is about riding a tandem bicycle, but fans of 2001: A Space Odyssey will recognize it as the song sung by HAL 9000. Daisy Bell (Bicycle Built for Two) was actually the first song sung by the IBM 7094 using computer speech synthesis, which is why it was used in the movie.

Shouldnt. But still totally do. Bot keeps telling me I'm not adding enough text here.. songs that get you pumped or emotional and give you the zoomies on the bike. Looking for some good music to add to my riding Playlist. Just got my heart broken so sad songs are absolutely welcomed.

it depends on what type of video ur makin. freestyle vids go really well hip hop. check out some Aesop Rock or Cannibal OX stuff. I play that in the background when i'm playing mx vs atv on my comp and it goes really well with bike sounds. for racing try some rise against songs. "the first drop" is a good one and "tip the scales has a PERFRECT intro for the start of an MX race.

what i really wanna know is who started this BS about putting rap in dirtbike videos??? thats not music!!!! thats a manufactured beat practically out of a ****in casio keyboard repeated over and over while some dumbshit talks in rhythm over it - how is that music????

A rare time-trial start was the dramatic way one of the all-time icons of the sport, Sebastian Kienle, began his triathlon swan song. After weather conditions caused race officials to cancel the swim, racers took off for the hot and humid laps of the bike course. Kienle threw down a scorcher, but Leon Chevalier was even hotter, backing up his impressive fifth at the World Championships with a stellar performance in Cozumel. Chris Leiferman, looking for redemption after DNFing in Nice, was also having a brilliant day on the bike, leaving T2 with Kienle in chase of Chevalier at the front.

You can almost hear a collective cheer from triathlon fans and a collective oh no! from professionals, because five-time World Champion Javier Gomez is back. Following 18 months away from racing due to illness and injury, Gomez has finally been pinning on race numbers recently. After winning two small test races, he turned his attention to 70.3 Mossel Bay to see if he still had what it takes against the strongest opposition.

Even pros get a little rusty during a break, as Gomez forgot to pack his swim skin with him and said the swim was noticeably slow in his tri suit with pockets. Nicholas Quenet took full advantage, and stormed to the front. On the bike, Gomez struggled to get comfortable, but eventually pulled towards the front with a group that included strong South African cyclist Matt Trautman. Gomez then pulled out a trademark red-hot run to break the tape in 3:51:46, ahead of Trautman and Quenet. Welcome back, Javi!

Belgian athlete and 70.3 Word Record holder Marten van Riel was well overdue for a middle-distance race after missing out on two PTO races after a bike crash earlier this year. He prepared thoroughly for the heat of Brazil, and it proved instrumental as he secured a commanding victory. Van Riel quickly established a substantial lead of over two minutes after the swim and his dominance only intensified, with his lead exceeding six minutes by the time he transitioned to the run. Despite some narrowing of the lead in the closing kilometers thanks to terrifyingly-good runner Antonio Benito Lopez, Van Riel finally got his middle-distance win. Brazilian Andr Lopes took third.

As koda celebrates its 20th year with the Tour de France, we look back on the most prominent changes that happened on pro road racing scene in the past two decades. Le Tour in particular reflects it like no other. Each year, we expect more dynamic racing, earlier breakaways or more intense head-to-head stage finishes. The featured articles below explore the most significant shifts and challenges "La Grande Boucle" has been through since 2004.

Cycle fans will note the obscene amount of steel-framed lug-welded bikes used in the video, most of which were classic race 10-speeds. The ladies favoured Campagnola groupsets with frames made by Gitane, Peugeot, Raleigh, and Colnago.

The yellow jersey goes to American hip-hop rockers Flobots, who are first up with their only UK hit Handlebars. The track, which describes doing things on your bike that would almost certainly make you fail your cycling proficiency test, hit Number 14 in 2008.

Fifth place belongs to possibly the most famous song about cycling of them all. Originally released as a double-A side with Fat Bottomed Girls, flamboyant rockers Queen took the track to Number 11 in 1978.

While we can neither confirm nor deny that Freddie Mercury had the Twin Capes region of the Delaware Beaches and the Jersey Shore in mind when he wrote the classic Queen song Bicycle Race, we certainly like to think he did! There's good reason too, as the region offers some amazing options for those looking to get out and about on two wheels. Whether it's a relaxed cruise to find a great brew and a tasty bite to eat, an casual ride to take in the sights and sounds, or a serious leg & lung burner to see how many miles you can put in, there's something for just about everyone!

On May 4, 1984, I embarked on a bike race beginning in Savannah, GA and ending in San Diego, CA with the goal of breaking my own world record time. This was the third time and last time I attempted this race.
