Any reggae tune about bicycles?

Hello Hello,
Next Friday is the next CRITICAL MASS taking place in Geneva and in other cities of the world.
To be simple, "Critical Mass is a monthly bicycle ride to celebrate cycling and to assert cyclists' right to the road"
For a few times now we organized a bicycle carrier with a little sound system on it to brighten up the whole ride and the streets of the city. We try to vary the music styles but reggae seems to suit the people well.
So the question is, are there some tunes speaking about bibylcles or where this word is sung that would be great to pass thrue the speakers?
Thansk for any ideas!

Early B - Wheely Wheely is a classic. He also has a track called Bicycle Bicycle (can you find a more fitting title track?).
Another one is Yellowman - Hill & Gully Ride that is dedicated to the biker posse (of jamaica ... but no one has to know that)!
I think I recall a tune with Junior Reid that focuses on riding bikes (not Poor man transportation).

Don't know if Peenie Walli would be such a good track since he gets run over when he rides his bike
Here is a picture of Ranking Dread on a bicycle;

Listened to Poor Man Transportation and it was the one I was thinking of. Must have mixed it up with some other song in my mind not thinking it was the one regarding bikes.
»Mi nuh want no bus, no car, mi no want no blasted minivan. Me just ride me bicycle as my transportation.«
Indeed a classic.

Yeah Kalcidis, thanks for the link!
The music would be real great for the Critical Mass!
Jah Thomas, has also another tune called Bicycle Skank ridding the "Pointless Killing" from Hell&Fire.
Thanks everybody
