Daisy Explained
Why does my mother's tandem bike have a boquet of daisies on it? Long, Long ago there was a folk song which referred to a bicycle built for two. The lyrics went like this: Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer do I'm half crazy all for the love of you It won't be a stylish marriage I can't afford a carriage But, you'll look sweet Upon the seat Of a bicycle built for two. Michael, Michael, Here is your answer true Your half crazy if you think that will do There won't be any marriage if you can't afford a carriage For I'll be switched before I'm hitched On a bicycle built for two. View another version of this song with history about it here. With that in mind the daisies carried on the bikes are in memory of the "bicycle built for two" song. Very few people know my mom's name, however many recoginize her daisies.
