So, I heard that Porto Alegre is working to create more bike lanes in the city (at least that's what I saw here and here). I love going around the city by bike. One of my biggest regrets is not taking the job offered to me as a bike messenger in Seattle when I was 18.
But, with all this in mind, I thought I'd share this fun little song with any Vezenquandistas who, like me, get a smile from bicycles....
I run around town, around round the town
ResponderExcluirWith the pedal to the metal; the pedal to whatever.
Shootin' round these tricky bends.
I hear a conversation in my head.
Thinkin' of the place to be.
I sing a little melody instead.
I won't argue with myself, today my legs are gettin' some hell.
My mama tells me I should stop
Go and get a real job
That can't be the way that I roll.
And everybodys growing up, having kids and paying rent and im getting count of it all.
Gonna ride my bike until I get home.
Thinking 'bout the girl I met, a phone call that I haven't made yet.
All the things I've done this week, and all the things I should've done instead.
I sweep the pavements and the parks; I hope I get home before its dark.
My mama tells me i should stop.
Go and get a real job.
That can't be the way that I roll.
And everybodys growing up, having kids and paying rent and im getting count of it all.
I can't understand it, but I can't really stand them.
Girls love cars, cars cause harm to the planet
Don't you wanna take a joyride on my tandem
Humming on a huffy, don't I look so handsome
Bass to bikes there so nice there priceless
Working on my calves the triceps to biceps, bypass the gas stop at traffic lights.
I get a round round without a driver's licence
Hello (hello) you walking, (farewell) farewell I'm off then.
And I'm whipping through the city with a 40 and a 50 Polly popping on my wheelie.
