I'm Going Back on the Bicycle by Tommy Sands: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mCBdgq1ips0 (great message and lyrics -- could use a re-mix by Rhymefest and the other folks at Blackstone/experimental station, though)
Pink Floyd's "Bike" is cool: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FPMXt9Me_Fo
We had a bike-ped bridge access campaign in Cleveland last decade: this song By Ari Lesser was a part of that modest success: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7GP3XJquJ_8
This "how to load a bike on a bus" video is a winner: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eoFFg0W9UME
BTW@neil -- I agree (but not because I'm anti-helmet) that Stay in Your Lane is a bit confusing. Most of Chicago's bike infrastructure is in the door zone, so advice about that should be in their video -- but maybe it's just hard to rhyme with. But they get in most of the other main stuff, and the kids' dancing is dope (currently correct term?).
I think maybe they were going for a redemption narrative showing the "customer" dude at first riding like an idiot (passing right-turning cars fast in the bike lane, running a light with a ped in the crosswalk etc.), and then, after they hug at the end, "getting it" and riding cool (except for the dorky left turn signal). Any insights, *J. Michael*? Does Blackstone use this for education? If so, how?
I'll start a separate thread asking for your favorite bike safety videos, because this is something we really need at OCBC. Good ones seem to be really hard to make well: getting it clear, correct, and cool (or at least not boring) seems to be one of those pick-only-two propositions.
Stay in Your Lane is at least cool, which makes it far from the worst example of lame bike safety videos with questionable advice (see LAB's old Enjoy the Ride https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5s5hJhLBUec with a clueless driveway rideout in the very first instructional riding segment at 6:55). Jim

ugh! helmet scare propaganda! the people in this video would be safer if they skipped the styrofoam hats and didn't ride in the door zone. instead of stay in your lane it should be stay out of the door zone!
