   Catchy tune. What are they saying? Heal my feet?

   I can only dream of such a scene as I commute down Conway Rd. during rush hour.

   That’s a great video! The bike is called a bakfiets = box-bike = cargo-bike. The rest of the words are beyond me. Those people look like they are having just so much fun!

   This link is a little “scary” but it’s another non-US music video, extolling the freedom of cycling, specifically that of riding a velomobile:

   The translation is not perfect.

   Within my Velomobil I only do what I´m pleased
   nobody is bending my ears
   nobody asks me what´s this is all about
   Inside my VM nothing is too much for me
   I don`t have to think too much
   I can steer on my own
   It never gives me good advice
   It is always there for me
   Inside my VM you can have wonderful dreams
   Inside my VM I don´t have to understand anything
   Time ist standing still
   I am near to heaven
   and all my dreams come true
   Inside my VM I forget toiling and moiling
   the wind rushes around my head
   I feel sexy and free
   It is so familiar to me and
   and clings smoothely to my skin
   And when I am sick and tired of it all
   I jump into it and I dash away
   Inside my VM I feel weightless
   Time simply stands still
   I get nearer to heaven and my dreams come true
   When I am brassed off with the world
   my VM will probably take off with me
   When everything goes wrong and I can`t stand it any longer
   It folds out its wings and flies away with me

   Was she ever going to drive that thing, or just eat whipped cream off it?

   Since it was stolen at the end, she probably won’t be escaping in her velomobile!

   Pretty strange video. With less clothing, it could become a “mature audience” sort of music video. Definitely Euro-punk something.
