Get on your Bike!

Challenge: IdiomLiner Notes
I googled idioms about bikes and "Get on your bike" came up. It's usage is "Mike you ate all my chips, get on your bike" So I took that and ran, I thought a grungy punk type song would work and was influenced by surf music.
This also felt like the perfect idiom to use in a song about jerks who park in bike lanes and people who rail against bike infrastructure.
Music nerd stuff:
-I'm playing my Tanglewood hollow bodied guitar (I need to change the strings on my Strat Squire)
-The bass is the Tanglewood tuned down an octave and effects added
-The synth it Decent Sample Red Clay guitar with some effects layered on
-I used programmed drums and messed with the patterns a bit
-I added some distortion to my main vocals
-The vocal double is a the original scratch track when I was figuring out lyrics with more effects on them then the lead
I'm pretty happy with this one and will revisit it later.
