The single was a chart success, reaching numbers one and two in the Australian and UK charts respectively. It has subsequently been covered by various artists. History and chart successWritten by brothers Idris and Evan Jones, "The Pushbike Song" was released in 1970 and reached the top-spot for two weeks in the Australian charts in March 1971. It also proved popular in the UK, reaching the number two spot on 31 January (beaten by George Harrison's "My Sweet Lord"), and number 31 in Canada.[1] Chart performance{{col-begin|width=65%}}{{col-2}}Weekly charts

Television / otherA music video was created for the song in 1970, which depicted the band and friends riding bicycles through the streets of Melbourne. Filmed in black and white, it was notable for scenes involving a procession of bicycles (including a penny farthing) and rollerskaters on a busy six-lane Melbourne arterial road, and a scene of four members of the band 'riding' a tandem bicycle atop a car transporter travelling at speed across the King Street Bridge (Melbourne). The song was used in a sketch by Paul Hogan in The Paul Hogan Show, which parodied the promotional film, and featured regular cast member Delvene Delaney[12] Australia's Young Talent Time also performed "The Pushbike Song" during one of their episodes in 1986. The Australian children's show Play School recorded a version of this song for the album There's A Bear In There, sung by Philip Quast. In 2012 "The Pushbike Song" was used on an advertising campaign for Tooheys 5 Seeds Cloudy Cider. The vocals on that version are purportedly a performance by "gypsy banjo player, Benny 'The Giant' Gogasa" recorded via Skype.[13] This is probably a spoof on the part of the advertising agency, for what appears to be a local studio recording, with no independent evidence that Benny 'The Giant' Gogasa and "his band of orphans, misfits and mildly deformed gypsy musicians" actually exists. It was also heard in the Hotch Potch House episode Round and Round during a film about a girl getting a new bike. See also
