Nice. Another in a long line of such. But not classic or vintage.

A lesser-known C&V bicycle song (featuring Steve Howe, later of Yes, and Twink, later of the delightfully named Pink Fairies):

I've got a bike
You can ride it if you like
It's got a basket
A bell that rings
And things to make it look good
I'd give it to you if I could
but I borrowed it

- Syd Barrett, 1967

Forgot to point out that Tomorrow, the band whose song "My White Bicycle" I posted above, scooped Ralf Hutter of Kraftwerk by being the first to use a bicycle pump as a musical instrument (listen to the chorus of the song).

There is always Arlo Guthrie's "Motorcycle Song":

I don't want a pickle
Just want to ride on my motorcycle
And I don't want a tickle
'Cause I'd rather ride on my motorcycle
And I don't want to die
I just want to ride on my motorcycle

It was late last night the other day
I thought I'd go up and see Ray
So l went up and I saw Ray
There was only one thing Ray could say, was:

I don't want a pickle
Just want to ride on my motorcycle
And I don't want a tickle
'Cause I'd rather ride on my motorcycle
And I don't want to die
I just want to ride on my motorcycle

Just last week I was on my bike
I run into a friend named Mike
Run into my friend named Mike
Mike no longer has a bike. He cries:

I don't want a pickle
Just want to ride on my motorcycle
And I don't want a tickle
'Cause I'd rather ride on my motorcycle
And I don't want to die
I just want to ride on my motorcycle
