Hi
I can't sing a note or play the guitar but, if any of our number can, please could you make a video clip of this song (preferably wearing cycling helmet and Sustrans hi-vis vest) and post it on the blog and, possibly, the Sustrans website.

To the tune of "Rhinestone Cowboy"


I’ve been ridin’ these streets so long
Singin’ the same old song
I know every pothole in the broken down highways of UK
Where the drivers don’t give you an inch
And cyclists get squeezed out when it comes to the pinch
There’s a load of Sunday drivers
Cursin’ us cycle riders
But I’m gonna be where the riding is traffic free

Like a Sustrans Ranger
Riding out on the National Cycle Network I’ll go
Like a Sustrans Ranger
Getting smiles and greetings from people I don’t even know
And not even one traffic cone

Well, I really don’t mind the rain
But the hedge cuttings drive me insane
When the brambles puncture your tyres several times in just one day
And I dream of the things I’ll do
With a hybrid cycle and a route with no traffic queue
There’ll be no Sunday drivers
Cursin’ us cycle riders
‘Cos I’m gonna be where the riding is traffic free

Like a Sustrans Ranger
Riding out on the National Cycle Network I’ll go
Sustrans Ranger
Getting smiles and greetings from people I don’t even know
And not even one traffic cone

  1. Excellent, Paul! Just reading this for the first time. Any volunteers to sing this, anyone?
