Ride My Bike

When I was younger I loved THIS SONG and if you listen to it now, you will be humming it for days.

 

Melanie Anne Safka-Schekeryk (born February 3, 1947) is an American singer-songwriter.

 

Usually known professionally as Melanie, she is best known for her hits "Brand New Key", "Lay Down (Candles in the Rain)" and "What Have They Done To My Song Ma".

 

Melanie's search for enlightenment inspired her to go on a 27 day fast, during which she drank nothing but distilled water. Coming off the fast, she was eating transitional food when she felt the urge to get a McDonald's hamburger. On the way back to her house, she started to write the song.

 

In my mid-20s Melanies songs were just part of that era, however more than one person appears to think that "For a song written in 15 minutes it has very clever lyrics. "I ride my bike, I roller skate don't drive no car" is a clear reference to her virginity."

 

Obviously I was a bit naive because I never thought of that.

 

Here is my new bicycle on a sunny Saturday. Have you noticed how the price of bicycles has gone through the roof.

 

I retired the old girl which I bought in 1989 and it served me well, but the tyres (original) were worn through to the inner textile, and top gear was unusable because the cogs were worn. I waved goodbe to old faithful as I took possesion on this new sports machine with suspension, lighter weight and front and rear hdraulic disc brakes.

 

Weeeeeee

 

Look at the Scott Speedster P2.
