MY NEW LEECY BIKE
When I was a lad I was bicycle mad
and I rode in and out motor cars
and now I'm a man I still ride when I can,
with both hands on me handle bars
Back in the day I rode a fixed wheel
and gears were just but a dream
I had to keep pedalling even going downhill
coz if you stopped you'd crash and get creamed.
Raleigh sit up and beg bikes were out soon with gears
the Sturmey Archer 3 speed was the rage,
and riding uphill was no longer a chore
with the lowest gear fully engaged.
Then one day by chance I saw the Tour De France
and I now watch it avidly,
but riders pounding up hills with their arse in the air
that don't look like cool riding to me.
You see I love mud and riding in crud
and mountain bikes are my ride of choice,
I whizz along on the tracks with my bag on me back
singing at the top of me voice.
Now that I'm an old fart I often run out of puff
and it's harder to stay in the zone,
so now on my new Ebike I have some help,
a Jap battery helps me back home.
I went to see Tony on a road that is stony
his Electric Bikes Kent shop is neat,
and after taking a ride on the rough track outside
I went home with the pride of his fleet.
My new German Haibike is top of the range
just brimming with technology
with Eco, Standard, and High now on tap,
the electric motor's the mutts nuts for me.
I still have to pedal but the battery cuts in
and the motor now helps me up hill,
but pounding along on the flat it's so fast
it really can give me a thrill.
t cost an arm and a leg to snag this new bike
as much as a good used car,
but with the help of that Jap battery, I now get home safely,
and I'm so very grateful to Tony and many THANKS YAMAHA.
