Bicycle Poetry - The Joy of Cycling
On Cycling - Exploring the Joy of Bicycling Through Original Poetry
They say that once you learn to ride a bicycle, you never forget. After not being on a bicycle for quite a while, I went cycling on a recent vacation and it was exhilarating.
In the verses below you'll discover that I explore the joy of bicycling and the bicycle in all its forms through the words of poetry. Pass on this link to your cycling friends! I hope you enjoy reading these original poems about cycling.
My newest bicycle poem is entitled "This Great Device" ... Hope you like it!

This Great Device
This Great Device
I sit astride this great device
On two spoked wheels of metal
Upon a padded seat quite nice
My butt does roundly settle
My feet propel the pedals round
That move the chains thru sprockets
Spinning wheels across the ground
So I fulfill my dockets
While not quite speedy as a car
This conveyance is handy
Allowing me with handlebars
To navigate so dandy
Before I rest this monologue
I’ll have you know quite truly
The exercise I catalogue
Befits my figure duly
Cyclists Go North
Cyclists Go North
On either side of the road
Cyclists go north
Cyclists go south
Staying inside the white line
Helmets on, water tubes in mouth
Covering the distance
Requires strong lean muscles
Pounding, pounding, pounding
On this lovely spring day
When the shoulder is wide
Two abreast they ride
Yet stay inside
The white line
Super tanned
Arms and legs
Steering, pounding, steering
Destination nearing
Read about the Fascinating History of the Bicycle
The Pennyfarthing
That funny Bicycle with the Tall wheel and the Tiny wheel
The Pennyfarthing
High up on the little seat
The pennyfarthing rider perched
The small pedals met his feet
As forward the high cycle lurched
On the Pennyfarthing
When One Needs Some Exercise
When One Needs Some Exercise
When one needs some exercise
The cyclists are very wise
Pumping makes leg muscles lean
And you get to tour around the scene
Bikes I See In Boulder
Bikes I See In Boulder
In Boulder I see a lot of crazy bikes
Like hand pedaled, recumbent and tandem
There's the right choice for whatever one likes
So don't make your cycling decision at random

Cycling is Popular Everywhere
Cycling is popular everywhere
For pleasure and for sport
Just wear a helmet on your hair
Don't leave it for a last resort

Cycling in the Urbs
Cycling is popular in very crowded cities
Such as in Copenhagen and Shanghai
Likely the people ride to their committees
And then remount when time to say goodbye
Cycling in Copenhagen - The Danes like their bicycles
I'm Not a Racer
I'm Not a Racer
I'm not a Racer
Or even a Pacer
But I'll be a Witness
To the elite Fitness
Of the athletes that Tour
And through miles Endure
Breaking Away - Great film, great cycling, great score!
