Soundtrack rule #1
Don’t use “Bicycle Race” by Queen in a cycling video.
Ever.
Do you have any idea how tired we (cyclists) are of that? You may think it’s a novel idea (omg a song ABOUT BICYCLE RACES that I can use in my video of BICYCLE RACES) but – trust us – it’s been done many, many, many times before.
However this video is very nice. I’d just suggest turning the volume down and listening to some Birdy Nam Nam
Yeah, that song makes me want to throw up.
I did not heed your advice and began the video before muting the sound.
Luckily you can’t technically choke the air out of computer.
I’m not even sure if the part I had my hands so tightly gripped around was its throat.

Thank you for posting this, but I would ask that the rule be expanded beyond videos and to everything that has anything to do with cycling. Say, for instance getting woken up at 4:00 a.m. on day 2 of the MS Getaway, and not just playing the song once, but over and over again in 5 minute intervals. I don’t know if you’ve noticed this, but there’s not a lot of variety in the lyrics, so having this song stuck in one’s head for 75 miles makes me not want to ride my bicycle.
i dont know guys….i kind of like queen.
