BICYCLES REMIND ME OF ...

("Dos hombres y un destino" in Spanish)
Do you remember the scene in which Paul Newman and Fay Dunaway are sharing a bike with herself on the crossbar and Newman steering? Absolutely lovely!
Raindrops keep falling on my head 
And just like the guy whose feet are too big for his bed 
Nothin' seems to fit 
Those raindrops are falling on my head, they keep falling 
So I just did me some talkin' to the sun 
And I said I didn't like the way he' got things done 
Sleepin' on the job 
Those raindrops are falling on my, head they keep falling 
But there's one thing I know 
The blues he sends to meet me won't defeat me 
It won't be long till happiness steps up to greet me 
 Raindrops keep falling on my head 
But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turnin' red 
Crying's not for me 
Cause I'm never gonna stop the rain by complainin' 
Because I'm free 
Nothing's worrying me.

And what about the use of bicycles nowadays? It's a fact that the bicycle is still having trouble imposing itself in some European cities. Here you can watch a video about this up-to-date topic.
