Heard tonight on radio6, "Fishface" by (I think) "Abdoujaparov".
Where a bloke rants at a motorist, with lines like "cycling used to be fun"
and a fair bit more besides.
Song quality's rotten though - nice sentiments, shame about the song.

They've been around a couple of years - I remember a while ago hearing
them on 6Music and emailing in to help the DJ (Andrew Collins, IIRC)
with pronunciation of the name, and explaining who the Tashkent Terror
was. :-)

The band was formed by Les Carter (aka "Fruitbat"😉 from Carter (The
Unstoppable Sex Machine) - Les is a keen cyclist and used to take to
the stage wearing a cotton racing cap with the peak turned up which was
always an interesting sight!

Indeed he did - I can recall seeing Carter USM on TOTP and suchlike and
it was usually a Z-Peugeot cap.

Indeed, he was briefly a member of the Dulwich Paragon. We hoped at
one stage we might be able to get rid of a massive over-order of caps.

Just twigged that you can download the "Fishface" song from the
website's download page.
The lyric quoted by the OP is in fact:
"I remember when the bicycle was safe and it was fun,
But next time I cycle, I'm gonna bring a gun............
........... that's right fishface, just for you!"
In the words of Louis Walsh - "Oy loiked it".

Ta people, I'm the OP.
I told me mate tonight and he paid once to see them, in Leeds.
Along with three others and a whippet (he claims).
