Biker Biker

Too many cyclists are being knocked off their bikes by motorists, and it seems to me most often at roundabouts and junctions. Let’s all try to ride safely and be aware of what is happening around you at all times.  

Biker, Biker  

For the non sporty masses it would appear

That fit folk only do it just for the gear

Tight colourful Lycra gets us so hated

We’re flashy show offs, there to be slated

Here’s a note to the ‘Hate Bikers’ society

We don’t wear the clothes to gain notoriety

Let’s say ‘Give to Caesar what is Caesars’

Lycra tights will never be crowd pleasers

And ‘Give to God what is Gods’

Onward and onward the cyclist plods

‘A place for everything’ is commonly said

‘Everything in its place’ could be said instead

So bike gear for bikers because after all

You’d never wear cricket gear to play football

You wouldn’t wear a rumba frock to a rugby match

Or a wetsuit to golf when you play off scratch

The bike clothes have not unnaturally evolved

But for improved comfort it has been solved

No wind drag, no chaffing, and a pad just there

Young lads roll the window down, at us to swear

We put in the miles, the cars move so fast

With a bright coat on we hope safety will last

So you tend your business and I will tend mine

Between us we’ll carry our lives on just fine
