Elgar and Mr. Phoebus, his bike
Chausson's biking accident

They're both based on circular, rotating media for the most part.

In the final scene of the very funny movie "Totò al Giro d'Italia" (1948)
Totò is playbacking a soprano singing "La maglia rosa" on the melody of the
Ouverture of Rossini's Barbiere di Siviglia. He is accompanied by a choir
consisting of Coppi, Bartali, Bobet, Kübler and other famous bicycle racers
of that time.

Well, I'd be a lot happier if Ernest Chausson had stayed off his.

Tour de France by Kraftwerk.
Not entirely classical, but very close to Stockhausen and others.

German "light classical" composer Klaus Wusthoff wrote a piece called
"The Merry Cyclist" which was available on Koch Schwann 3-1807-2.

I guess it's not strictly "Classical", having been composed in 1993, but
Michael Thomas' "Harold in Islington" is based on the day-to-day life of a
friend of Thomas', who works for a catering company delivering sandwiches by
bicycle in the Islington area. The piece has been recorded by the Brodsky
Quartet (of which Thomas is leader). It can be found on the disc "Lament"
(Silva Classics D31203).
I'm not making this up!

Motorcycles OK? Then, Jan Sandström's Concerto for Trombone "Motorbike
Concerto" specially written for Christian Lindberg. Recording on BIS CD 538
[Lindberg/Segerstam/Swedish Radio Sym. Orch. -- also on other BIS CDs,
differently coupled] (unheard maybe Don Patterson can fill us in).

Gustav Holst once took a bicycling holiday in the Algerian desert.
Happy listening.

I know it's too late, but I forgot:
P.D.Q. Bach: Pervertimento for Bagpipes, Bicycle, and Balloons
There's also Hans Christian Lumbye's (the "Strauss of the North)
"Velocipedes" galop.
And who could forget George Le Brun's "Salute My Bicycle,"
not to mention "Orchestre vélo" (Bicycle Orchestra)
"a seven piece mobile acoustic and electroacoustic orchestra."
(I'm not making this up, you know!).
