It occurred to me this morning that Brian Eno's song The True Wheel
might well be about cycling, in some obtuse kind of way. If indeed it
is about anything - its meaning is elusive, to say the least, but
there's the title for a start, and the line "Looking for a perfect
ratio", which suggest at least a passing interest in cycling.
And I wonder also if the line "We are the 801" is perhaps something to
do with tyre sizes. Anyone?

Or perhaps that Eno co-led a band called 801 with Phil Manzanera...

A-ha! That would be it, then. I didn't know about this other band.
