Actually, Solomon's dad, David, was a bicyclist.
My loins are filled with searing pain;
there is no health in my boyd.
I am utterly numb and crushed;
I wail, because of the groaning of my heart.
Oh Lord, you know all my desires,
and my sighing is not hidden from you.
My heart is pounding, my strength has failed me,
and the brightness of my eyes is gone from me.
Psalm 38:7-10
Obviously written on the climb up Mount Zion on a hot, sunny day, as he
returned from a long ride to his palace in Jerusalem.
