"Bicycle Race" was written by Freddie Mercury in France, just after the Tour De France pass by his hotel.
It was released from the Jazz album as a double A-Sided single with "Fat Bottomed Girls" worldwide.
To promote the new single, Queen staged a bicycle race in Wembly Stadium to promote the new single.
However, this turned out to be no normal event. Instead, the race featured nude women as the racers!
