We're the healthy, happy heathens, the Men Who Ride for Fun,
The faithful friends of bicycling, that sport surpassed by none,
We've ridden through long seasons past; we'll ride long seasons more;
And while we've gained both health and strength, we have had fun galore!
Who we are
Gunnar Shogren, Betsy Shogren, Chris McGill, sometimes Mike Yozell, and now JR Petsko.
We're the healthy, happy heathens, the Men Who Ride for Fun,
The faithful friends of bicycling, that sport surpassed by none,
We've ridden through long seasons past; we'll ride long seasons more;
And while we've gained both health and strength, we have had fun galore!
We're close to Mother Nature, and she greets us every year
With blossoming flowers, budding trees and sunny atmosphere.
We hear her voice low-calling, just as soon as spring's begun.
She tells her choicest secrets to the Men Who Ride for Fun.
We start the season's wheeling when the frost first leaves the ground.
We know the roads in every town for fifty miles around.
Our minds are clear, our hearts are light, digestion Number One.
We've three big appetites a day, the Men Who Ride for Fun.
There are men who ride for mileage and men who ride for speed,
And in a few short seasons they get all the wheel they need
While we keep on year after year; our wheeling's never done.
We hearty, hungry vagabonds, the Men Who Ride for Fun.
We wear each other's burdens and enjoy each other's jokes;
Respect each other's feelings and the rights of other folks.
Bring out your wheels and join us. You'll be welcome, everyone,
To the Brothers of the Bicycle, the Men Who Ride for Fun.
