Curb Side Story...

After replying to a comment about my apparent lawless riding,
I rode to work this morning, and this assembled itself in my head:

Curb Side Story
A musical about bike commuting featuring these songs:

Bike Song
When you ride bikes
You ride bikes all the way
From your first tricycle
to your last Bike Friday…

Tonight
Tonight, Use Lights
But not just any lights
Use lights that can be seen by a car…

Gee, Bike Safety Police
Dear kindly Judge Your Honor
You gotta understand
The cycling infrastructure
Without me it was planned
It doesn't go where I must
...designed by four-wheel fools

Two-wheels good...
That's why I break the rules...


One Bike , One Part
Make of our bikes one bike
Make of our parts one heart
Make us a Franken-bike some how
Only death will part it out...

A Bike Like That
A bike like that will bring you sorrow
Forget that bike and find another
One with a mid-drive
Stick to an e-dive...

Somewhere
There’s a place for us
Some where a lane for us
Hold the line and we’re halfway there
Suck my wheel and I’ll take you there...

(It all sounded better in my head...)

OK, that's a fun little puzzle to figure out (remember) all the tunes from WSS that correspond to these. I've got a few, but my broadway-fu is weak
