Bells and Whistles

Is your bike an expression of your individuality?
Baseball card in the spokes-because you rock with personality?

Is your bike an extension of your attitude and verve?
Do people step back, say “Check that out!” when you come around the curve?

Is your bike just a thing, like a mower in the garage?
Or is your bike so smooth people think it’s a mirage?

Look at all that water, no wait- I don’t think so-
It’s someone on a bicycle-damn look at them go.

Is your bike an expression of your individuality?
When you step over do you say, “Sweet ride you complete me”?

Streamers, chrome, slick tires or knobbies,
checking your reflection rolling by hotel lobbies.

Is your bike an expression of your individuality?
Is your bike an expression of your individuality?
