Die Prinzen turn a simple bicycle ride into a tongue-in-cheek adventure. The singer brags about tearing through the streets at 120 km/h, hoping the police won’t notice, and swears loyalty to his trusty two-wheeler even more than to his wife. With playful exaggeration he describes the bike as a cloud-gliding partner that will never let him down, painted completely blue because "blau" also means tipsy in German – a wink at his own occasional partying.
The chorus fires playful shots at car culture: "Jeder Popel fährt einen Opel … Nur Genießer fahren Fahrrad" (Every snot drives an Opel … only true connoisseurs ride a bicycle). By labeling car owners with silly nicknames while crowning cyclists as the real winners, the song pokes fun at status symbols and celebrates freedom, simplicity, and a dash of eco-friendly rebellion. In short, “Mein Fahrrad” is a humorous love letter to anyone who’d rather pedal past the traffic than sit in it.
