One last time, please.
All I need is pedals, and a little air.
Climb on board and grip my bars, twist them in your familiar hands
Ease me onto the street, stand up and jump
Coax me through the gears
Just like we used to, so many years ago
Let’s go
All I need is pedals, and a little air
Remember when your muscular legs and toned arms willed me past speed limits?
Past other bikes, and racing dogs
Down mountain passes and up steep bridges
We sliced through corners, blistered pavement
Those younger guys? Left in our dust
“Some guy on a pink bike”
That’s what they always said
Can’t we do it again?
All I need is pedals, and a little air
I know I’m not new
And neither are you
But I’m still fast, and I’ll make you smile
I’ve sat in this corner, gathering dust, losing air, and waited
Please?
All I need is pedals, and a little air
