Tuesday Biking Jams: Raise Your Glass

Tuesdays are crazy deadline days for me in my non-biking, non-blogging life, but do I consider that a challenge? Well, yes, but I also go in for considering it an opportunity to give you all a taste of the latest and greatest on my iPod's Bike Ride playlist.

I scarcely ever ride without my music - except, you know, on trails where they have mountain lions and bears and stuff, given my fondness for not being attacked by wild animals. Sometimes I'll hit on just the right song for a particular moment, which is awesome. I can neither confirm nor deny that this sometimes leads to me singing at the top of my lungs biking down Snow King Avenue.

 Specifically, I can neither confirm nor deny that I ended up singing along with "Raise Your Glass," Pink's anthem for outcasts, last week on the way back to the office from lunch.

Sometimes my biking jams will have some actual cycling application, but not this one. I was just in a crappy mood and biking into a nasty headwind with a million things to do when I got back to work. Nothing quite cheers you up in those circumstances like getting weird looks from passing motorists as you sing to them that they should call you up if they are gangster, amirite? I am right.

So enjoy the biking jam, and feel free to also sing it on your bike if you can't think of any other way to cheer yourself up.

P.S. If you can't do the video for some reason, you can find the lyrics here
