 When the day is cold and hazy, and I wake up feeling lazy I wanna hop into my fort, cause there's a heater on the dashboard But when instead I grab my U-lock, my helmet and my saddlebag Slightly badass, yes, but mostly I'm just really glad I get to ride my bike, I get to ride my bike I get to ride my bike, I get to ride my- I'd use a car or truck to go to my bike But I'd rather push the pedals on my beautiful machine Rather do a thing that's healthy, economical and green So when I'm going off to work or to the doctor or the dentist To meet a friend for lunch or to the bowl to pick up lettuce And taking kids to school or to a buddy's house to play Or really any destination ten or twenty blocks away I'm gonna ride my bike, I'm gonna ride Put a pedal for a mile and you'll see you'll start to smile And when grumpy people catch your eye The happiness will multiply I'm riding to Jack London Square The sun was up the sky was blue The wind was blowing through my hair And I was on- I got to ride my- On the street the party can get silly With Heather on his back and Claire on Molly Bruce and Lily On the racket Malcolm X is like a party of its own It's Rashida, Rashid, Kate, Eliza, Nicholas, Rowan and Dawn And you know sometimes after school at the end of the day The little boys and I are tired and home seems very far away We grump and groan a little bit But by the time that we get home we learn again With bicyclists and scientists already know When you ride your- You're a- You're a- You're a- You're a- You're a- You're a- On the circuit we'll help you stay alive Cause the risk-benefit ratio was 1 to 25 And you're 100 times as likely to die from diabetes And 1,000 times as likely to go from heart disease And you know cyclists in their 70s are like folks in their 20s They're reflexes, bone density, they're muscle mass and memory Endurance and their strength and their metabolic health If you keep riding a bike you'll keep feeling like yourself So get on your bike I swear these stats are really right. If you want I can cite them if you'll try riding your bike. I got my ring here at the ready in case the drought ever ends and I'm hoping with the song I will convince all my friends to try riding in the rain around a tandem with a friend. It might seem far at first but you'll get there in the end. So I'm the day is cold and hazy and I wake up feeling lazy. Gonna do the thing I like and hop onto my bike and I'm hoping that she'll come along and ride with me and sing this song. Imagine how the world could be all bicycling and harmony. So let's get on our, come on let's ride our bikes.
