Ditties

Three verses for you bike-lovers. The first two are sung to the tune of "Going for a Ride," a well-loved Sesame Street song. The third is to the tune of "Let's Go Fly a Kite" from Mary Poppins and is pretty particular to the ride Brad and I do nearly every morning. Enjoy!

Oh I'm going for a ride; Goin' riding on a bike; And I hope to see some friends; On their mountain-, fixed-, or trikes; Gonna feel the open air; And go no faster than I like; When I'm goin' for a ride; And I'm riding on my bike. And my bell goes, ring ring, ring ring; And my bell goes, ring ring, ring ring; When I'm goin' for a ride; And I'm riding on my bike!

Oh I'm going for a ride; Gonna pedal near and far; Gonna bike it there and back; Cause it's better than a car; Gonna get some exercise; Do some errands and the like; Cause I'm goin' for a ride; Going riding on my bike. And my bike goes, zip zip, zip zip; And my bike goes, zip zip, zip zip; When I'm goin' for a ride; And I'm riding on my bike!

Let's go ride our bikes; Down 5th and straight up Pike; Let's go ride our bikes; It's time for "work-y"; We'll meet up afterward and glide home past all the cars; Oh, let's go, ... ride our bikes!
