Happy Clowns in Car-free Bike Lane (by Fred Askew)
The Clown Bicycle Brigade Rides Again!!
Tired of cars and trucks clowning around and blocking the bike lane?
Put on a red nose and cone hat and help ban the petroleum sucking
imposters from the bike lanes. Lane chalking, songs and clown curses
are all part of the fun. Check out last month's ride.

Bring songs sheets so you can sing out while we
tickets cars and move them out of the bike lanes
LANE (FAME)
I'm gonna bike forever
I'm gonna bike to the sky
High
We can bike ride together
Free the lanes with our minds
Ride!
BEASTIE BOYS SONG
You get on your bike in the snow and rain
a car knocks you off and rides away
you keep on riding to get to work
A cop gets in the way like some kind a jerk
(chorus) You gotta fight for your right to bike ride!
The cop caught you riding - and he said, "No way!"
But the punk runs red lights everyday
They steal your wheels and break your chains
Put all their trash in our bike lanes!
(chorus) You gotta fight for your right to bike ride!
Cars eat oil as if it fell from the sky
When we go to war, do you wonder why?
When you bike, we can all breathe deep
Cuz you're not in a car like little sheep!
(chorus) You gotta fight for your right to bike ride
BEATLES SONG- ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE (ALSO COULD BE ALL YOU NEED IS
BIKES)
Lanes, lanes, lanes, lanes, lanes, lanes, lanes, lanes, lanes.
All you need is lanes, all you need is lanes,
All you need is lanes, lanes, lanes are all you need.
Lanes, lanes, lanes, lanes, lanes, lanes, lanes, lanes, lanes
Lanes are all you need
DON'T LET ME DOWN (Beatles)
Don't block my lane
Don't block my lane
Don't block my lane
Don't block my lane
Nobody ever blocked me like the fuzz
Why the fuzz? Just because.
And if somebody blocked me
On the street
Let me be. Just because.
Don't block my lane
Don't block my lane
Don't block my lane
Don't block my lane
LET IS SNOW = LET US RIDE
Oh the weather outside is freezing,
And the car smog starts me wheezing,
But since we still choose to bike,
Let us ride! Let us ride! Let us ride!
When we critical mass unite,
we always end up in the court
and if you finally give us our rights
I'll give you my love I'll be sworn.
The earth is slowly dying,
But, my dear, we're not good-bying,
So as long you love to bike,
Let us bike! Let us bike! Let us bike!
THE CONSTITUTION:
We, the bike lane protector Clowns,
born from and ride on holy lane grounds
promise to guard the bike paths we share
although we admit they are few and rare.
All obstacles we command, "dispurse!"
or if we cannot move, ticket with a gentle curse.
As cars eat precious fleeting gas
Biking energy will always last
Bike lanes are not for a car, but a bike
For this truth we shall always fight
with all our might!
