On my rockin' bicycle that's built for two




ROCKIN’ BICYCLE LYRICS

Sung by Fats Domino (1961)

Ain’t got a Cadillac or big old De Ville
I’m just a little guy not a big tyre wheel
But I can prove my love is true
On my rockin’ bicycle that’s built for two

We don’t care if we live out of date
We don’t care if we’re a little bit late
Gonna make the scene baby me and you
On my rockin’ bicycle that’s built for two

We don’t care, we don’t mind
If we don’t be in front, we be a-right behind

We don’t care if they laugh at us
Let ‘em take the bus and leave the cycle for us
They can have a Cadillac and T-bird too
But gimme my rockin’ bicycle for two

Ain’t got a Cadillac or big old De Ville
I’m just a little guy not a big tyre wheel
But I can prove my love is true
On my rockin’ bicycle that’s built for two

We don’t care if we live out of date
We don’t care if we’re a little bit late
Gonna make the scene baby me and you
On my rockin’ bicycle that’s built for two

We don’t care, we don’t mind
If we don’t be in front, we be a-right behind

We don’t care if they laugh at us
Let ‘em take the bus and leave the cycle to us
They can have the Cadillac and T-bird too
But gimmer my rockin’ bicycle for two

2016 update on Rike Park, Tbilisi: from construction to busy park

From a flat patch of uninteresting dirt, Rike Park in Tbilisi, Georgia, has transformed in four years (from 2014-2016) into a busy park full of trees, flower beds, sculptures, fountains, and events. Rike (Rikhe) Park is on the left bank of the Mt’k’vari River (the Kura River) near the Old City of Tbilisi. The Peace Bridge links the right bank to Rike Park. Rike Park is below the hillside Presidential Palace and, via cable car, it is the starting point for the ride to Sololaki Ridge (with the Narikala Fortress and the Mother of Georgia statue). The glass box-shaped cable car terminus was opened on 23 June 2012, and since then the park has continually developed into a ‘people’s park’ where people can walk around, eat at the nearby restaurants, sit next to the statue of American president Ronald Reagan, climb the steps to Avlabari district, and access the sights of Meidan Square, the Peace Bridge, the Metekhi Church, the Old City, the waterfall, the sulphur baths, and t...

The acacia thorn trees of Kenya

There are nearly 800 species of acacia trees in the world, and most don’t have thorns. The famous "whistling thorn tree" and the Umbrella Thorn tree of Kenya are species of acacia that do have thorns, or spines. Giraffes and other herbivores normally eat thorny acacia foliage, but leave the whistling thorn alone. Usually spines are no deterrent to giraffes. Their long tongues are adapted to strip the leaves from the branches despite the thorns. The thorny acacia like dry and hot conditions. The thorns typically occur in pairs and are 5-8 centimetres (2-3 inches) long. Spines can be straight or curved depending on the species.
