Equally, it's possible to go even further in the "bicycle" direction to end up ahead of those with cars. Here's a delightful example: Rubberbandits "Horse Outside" [VIDEO] (NSFW at one point if you are listening closely and can understand the Irish accent, but unlikely to actually offend). The beginning might be boring, but it's short, so stick with it.

Can't believe you're getting downvoted for one of Ireland's greatest cultural contributions. Behold The Rubberbandits, Horse Outside (helpfully timestamped to the lyric in question) [VIDEO]

Thanks to HN, a little time ago I learned that my original conception of the Monroe Doctrine (donroe mocktrine?) was overly simplistic. Yay HN! [LINK] (who'd want to invade IE anyway? They have no culture beyond a pair of shite gaelic rappers and they're so backward they still travel on horseback: [VIDEO] ) EDIT: and thank you HN for introducing me to Comrade Chuān Jiàn Guó. It is to laugh, slimy Terrie: [LINK]
