Country Music and Cycling
Has anyone ever thought what country and western music would have been like if cowboys rode bicycles? And instead of interstate truck drivers, what if country music songs were written for intercity bus drivers?

I'm sure if Gram Parsons had lived, things would be a lot different.

I frequently hum "Six Days on the Road" when I'm on a long randonneuring event.

"This rig's a little old but that don't mean she's slow..." Whoops, that part won't work for me. 
"Ridin' My Life Away"
"Ghost Bike In The Sky"
"Well they gave him his orders in Monroe, Virginia, said 'STEVE you're way behind time'"- that'll work.

There's also the one that accompanied me on the Last Chance 1200K
I'm back in the saddle again
Out where a friend is a friend
Where the longhorn cattle feed
On the lowly gypsum weed
Back in the saddle again
Ridin' the range once more
Totin' my old powerbar
Where you sleep out every night
And the only law is right
Back in the saddle again
Whoopi-ty-aye-oh
Rockin' to and fro
Back in the saddle again
Whoopi-ty-aye-yay
I go my way
Back in the saddle again
I'm back in the saddle again
Out where a friend is a friend
Where the longhorn cattle feed
On the lowly gypsum weed
Back in the saddle again
Ridin' the range once more
Totin' my old powerbar
Where you sleep out every night
And the only law is right
Back in the saddle again
Whoopi-ty-aye-oh
Rockin' to and fro
Back in the saddle again
Whoopi-ty-aye-yay
I go my way
Back in the saddle again

In the right lane
This is a good Gram Parson lyric -- from Return of the Grievous Angel -- for the biking cowboy:
Out with the truckers and the kickers and the cowboy angels
And a good saloon in every single town
Oh, and I remember something you once told me
And I'll be damned if it did not come true
Twenty thousand roads I went down, down, down
And they all lead me straight back home to you
And a good saloon in every single town
Oh, and I remember something you once told me
And I'll be damned if it did not come true
Twenty thousand roads I went down, down, down
And they all lead me straight back home to you

Has anyone sent in any of these suggestions to Willy Nelson yet?
Imagine if John Wayne and Clint Eastwood rode bicycles in the cowboy movies. Or even having a movie like "Smokie and the Bandit", about an cycle courier. Do you think that bicycles could make it in popular culture?

It would be amusing to see what happened if Lance Armstrong starred in a movie as a bicycle cop, especially with Jackie Chan as a stunt coach. What would Lance be riding over, besides New York cabs.
