This song takes me back to being 10-12 years old. I didn't care about politics, world events, whatever - I just wanted to ride my bike with my friends. Every once in a while, we'd race. Hurry through chores so you could get back out there. Obnoxiously ring the bell if any pedestrians came within 50 feet. I miss those days.

If Roger can be in love with his car then Freddy can most certainly want to ride a bike! He rode a bike in “Lazing on a Sunday afternoon” (Bicycling on every Wednesday evening “CHING CHING” of bells), I always felt “bicycling” was a running theme after this one. Fun song!

I think this is an ode to personal freedom, not strictly confined to cycling. It’s a fun song contrasting with the overly serious social conscious folk song movement, that became popular in the ‘60’s when the members of Queen were growing up.

I think this is one of Queen's most operatic songs. It's more like 20th century opera, the way it zooms around, changes tempo and suddenly shifts. I think it's an under-rated modernist piece hiding in plain sight. Remember, Freddie had many layers and he knew his music. The joke's on us if we take it too literally or get distracted by gimmicks (ooh, look naked women on bikes!)

The song "Bicycle Race" It's far from a typical rock song, with lots of different ideas bundled together very cleverly. I always thought it is musical complexity versus simplicity, some kind of display. In terms of key changes, harmonics, because Freddie is clearly messing around here with all this, at the same time he cleverly weaves in these beautiful and simple "hooks" that contribute to the song's widespread appeal. I think it was a number 11 hit in the UK. The backstory involves Brian and Freddie watching the Tour de France together in one of their flats or houses, each inspired to write different songs afterward. While the song may seem to revolve around a race, like you I also wondered whether it’s really about musical obsession, and possibly reflects aspects of their personal and professional relationship also. Who knows.

The Mountain Studios were in the Casino building in Montreux, Switzerland, not Montreal, Canada ;-) Theses days it's actually a Queen-centric museum about itself called "The Studio Experience", run AFAIK by Freddie's long-time PA Peter Freestone. Each year around Freddie's birthday (September 4) an open-to-everyone (but ticketed) party takes place in the Casino's ball room one floor above. That building, the Casion of Montreux, also has a firm place in music history in it's own right. "Smoke on the Water" by Deep Purple is all about the former casino building burning down during a concert by Frank Zappa.

It was a cold, November night in 1978 when Queen was touring in support for JAZZ and I was right up front of the stage with a bicycle bell. Freddie noticed and wanted to look it over and, of course I obliged. He rang it a couple of times before tossing it back to me. Only after bouncing off my (now bloody) lip then, into my hands only for someone take it from me! Well, something snapped in me and I took my elbow and slammed it into his belly and took it back. I didn’t get stabbed or beaten. I got my bell back. Sadly, when I moved out of my parents home the following year my mother threw it out 😖

There's a real sense of freedom with this song. The wanting to ride a bicycle, 'where I like', without any of the cares of the world, present day, (for the time), fads and fashions, politics and conflicts going on in the world. The simple act of going for a leisurely ride away from it all. The, 'race', part being the desire to be on your marks, get set and go. The only true ulterior motive to go riding the bike being those fat bottomed girls who'll be riding today! 😁 A very simplistic song, but one that is indelibly links to the time period of the late 70's, due to the various references within. Jaws had come out approximately 3 years earlier and Star Wars was very recent, having been released, (in Europe), earlier the same year. The inclusion of bicycle bells in the middle section worked really well, and always reminds me, a little, of the beginning part of, 'time', by Pink Floyd, when all the clocks chime together. Only Queen could pull off a song about riding a bicycle, I feel.

I also experience it as doing the title of the album justice with all of its flat notes and half notes, the song seems to be written using jazz music components. It was produced during Queen's height of growth towards becoming or being a super group.

Ok, going to come out and say it's not my fav Queen song, but it is amusing. However, when this came out I was a teenager and the album came with a great , albeit controversial poster. A rather large print of a bunch semi-naked woman in various poses on bikes which I enjoyed on my bedroom wall for a year or so :). I doubt that this sort of thing would ever be allowed again in this PC world we live in now. Pity, it was comedic, in the spirit of the "fat bottomed girls" correlated here. For me the best songs on this particular album were "Dreamers Ball" , "Dont stop me now", and "Dead on Time". The latter exhibits some rather nice (and rather rapid) guitar riffs. That all said, I remain so impressed that throughout all the reviews I have seen on virgin rock, Amy always seems to have something positive to say. So thanks for the review !

This may well be my favourite Queen song: a perfect 3 minute pop song where every second is essential: a perfect marriage of form and execution. It can be seen as silly and IT IS fun but it has levels: for example, it could be seen as a perfect expression of Dionysus versus Apollo. In traditional songs the horse represented freedom and unadulterated id- this song replaces the horse with the bicycle, the modern equivalent. I think Jazz rivals Queen II for being Freddie’s peak: this song, Don’t Stop Me Know and Mustapha have an unparalleled exuberance. Unfortunately Freddie lost his creative mojo after this LP which is a big part of why 80s Queen is a steep decline after 70s Queen.
