This ain’t a song for the car generation
the devotees of the gasoline nation -
I ain’t gonna be just a face in your mirror
When I ride past you
You’re gonna hear ...

It’s my bike
it’s not big but it’s clever -
I ain’t gonna ride forever.
I just wanna ride while I’m alive.
It’s my bike
I take it on the open highway
Along the narrow lanes I make my way
I just wanna ride while I’m alive
It’s my bike

This is for the ones who stand their ground
The pedallin’ people who never back down.
Traffic’s getting heavier make no mistake
And when you see the gaps, you don’t hit the brakes -

It’s my bike
it’s got a saddle of leather,
I bought it from a guy called Trevor -
I get it fixed by a girl called Clive.
(It’s my life)
I keep the bike in our apartment
And I ride it to the Health Department -
I just have to work from nine to five.
It’s my bike.

Better ride fast if they’re tracking you down
But when you ride slow you see more what’s around

It’s my bike
it’s got lights and a basket
it never yet blew a gasket.
I use the cycle lanes and pass the cars.
It’s my bike -
At weekends with my wife and daughter
We ride out to the shining water,
and come home at night beneath the stars.

It’s my bike
and it’s now or never
I ain’t gonna ride forever
I just wanna ride while I’m alive
It’s my bike
I take it on the open highway
And when I ride I ride it my way
I just wanna ride while I’m alive
It’s my bike
