review

… "Cycling Is Fun" bounces along on a near-Motown beat the likes of which they couldn't have done a year earlier

music

I want to go I want to go
To the green fields with you baby
C'mon let's go wo wo wo...
Riding on a bicycle together
We could ride forever
C'mon let's go wo wo wo...
Riding on the cycling road
Everyone is having fun
Riding on the cycling road
Nobody knows our cycling road

Run run run de run
Ride, riding on a bicycle

I want to go I want to go
To the green fields with you baby
C'mon let's go wo wo wo...
Riding on a bicycle together
We could ride forever
C'mon let's go wo wo wo...

Riding on the cycling road
See the green trees passing by
Sun is shining down on me
I don't have to wonder why

Run run run de run
Ride, riding on a bicycle

Riding on the cycling road
Green green grass surrounding me
Wind is blowing through the trees
Sun is bright and I feel happy
