Featuring Jane

Not discovering new but noticing for the first time, this slim list of bicycling tunes must ring in New Year. Can’t say it was an exhaustive search, since blog and book already catalog so many almost any source offers only covers and duplicates. First 2 were listed in appendix, included only to link videos. For once they feature a realistic mix of boys and girls.

My pleasure, Lianne. Happy to add yours to my impressive collection of 600 bicycling songs. There are about 2500 in all, many not available on CD, electronic media, or vinyl; hundreds from the 1800s related to women's suffrage were never recorded.
