I love the brake squeal at the end.

Thanks for that. I'm going to play it in assembly next week and ask
the children to guess the instruments.

I have a friend who is a composer who has an eccentric bicycle wheel which
the LBS made up for her. It's a real work of art, requiring many different
lengths of spoke.

Superb - and beats James May's Top Gear theme on various cars by a long
way!

Won't they be thinking "It's Crispin, so it will be about bikes"? :-)

If they do, and they can recognise the sound of a finger running over
spokes, I'll be delighted, though perhaps not so delighted if they
recognise the sound of squeeky brakes.

Squeaky brakes are good - much more likely to elicit an appropriate
response from wayward pedestrians than a bell, if accounts here are to
be believed. :-\
