a revolution
of the pedal and the mind
commuting to work
~kazimar~

this machine is built
of parts from countries far-flung
it burns Oreos
~caloso~

when wheels are turning
it must be revolution
it changes the world
~roofus~

i ride over here
i ride my bike over there
i ride everywhere
~vera~

Have not a clue where
I'm going, but the wheels say
"You'll love it -- promise!
~robcat~

If you ride my route,
Please don't tick off the cagers!
I ride two wheels too!
~robcat~

My bike is heavy,
But air, sun, and the effort
Make me light inside.
~robcat~

Strain, mash, *CHINK!* Aw man!
Chain-slip! And I'm going down!
Bruised knee...stupid hill!
~robcat~

Morning, hair askew,
Grumpy! I don't wanna work today!
Bike changes my 'tude.
~robcat~

Do you ride like me?
Yeah, you go faster, I know,
But with a big smile?
~robcat~

road bike named vishnu
shiva is my mountain bike
casey rides them both
~kazimar~

mind pedaling through
8 to 5 in cubicle
at 5 i'm riding
~kazimar~

cliff bar before ride
banana half way up hill
beer when I get home
~kazimar~

awake dreaming bike
around and around my bliss
pedaling for me
~kazimar~

rain falling buckets
people in cars grimmacing
i ride with smile
~kazimar~

Tires sing a sweet song
Asphalt played like a cello
Traction symphony
~robcat~

Underwear Nazi:
No underwear under shorts
NEVER! Got it? Good.
~a2psyklnut~

I should be working
thinking of more bike haikus
Come on 5 o'clock
~a2psyklnut~

Too many spare parts
What to do with all of them?
Buy new frame of course
~a2psyklnut~

My wish for Mother Earth
Roar of four-wheelers muted
In favor of two!
~robcat~

Days since a good ride!
My saddle runneth over
Where's the Lean Cuisine?
~robcat~

Impatient driver
Fingers drumming on the wheel
Know you not this joy?
~robcat~

Lo! The Devil Hill
Bane of my homeward commute
Finally conquered!
~robcat~

Quiet Autumn day
Leaves skittering in my path
Winter shadows loom
~robcat~

Thousands of dollars,
Titanium and carbon,
Cannot change a flat.
~unknown~

Colors of colors,
The jersey for all jerseys,
Please buy a mirror.
~unknown~

ridin at five thurly
don't be a little girly
ride that phat surly
~paul~

it might be squirrly
but don't let that deter-ye
try not to hurly
~paul~

like my surly hub
flip-flop: take the mountain bike
or singlespeed cross?
~casey~

Wheels spinning freely
Twisting through the dense forest
Blissful singletrack
~paul~

Adrenaline flows
Bike and body dance as one
See the line, ride it
~paul~

rolling along fine
suddenly a sinking feeling
is the road melting?
~mike~

turning is sluggish
it feels like pedaling through sand
shit, another flat.
~mike~

up and around
riding the trail. a bump, a hiss.
Where was that nail from?
~mike~

Sacred is the pull
Of gravity, but blessed
Are those who defy
~paul~
