And if you were going somewhere and you needed to use a bike, you'd just take the bike and you'd go somewhere and just leave it. Whoever needed the bikes would take them and leave them when they were done."[3] The Scottish rock band Nazareth did a cover version, which reached No. 14 in the UK Singles Chart in 1975, staying for eight weeks.[4] Actor Nigel Planer, as his character Neil the Hippy from TV-series The Young Ones, reached No. 97 with his cover in 1984.[5] References1. ^{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=U7cQmRsLgN8C&pg=PA4|title=Turn on Your Mind: Four Decades of Great Psychedelic Rock|first=Jim|last=DeRogatis|date=1 January 2003|publisher=Hal Leonard Corporation|page=4|isbn=0634055488}} {{Nazareth}}{{1960s-single-stub}}2. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.discogs.com/Tomorrow-My-White-Bicycle/release/3782027|title=Tomorrow (2) - My White Bicycle|website=Discogs|accessdate=28 August 2018|quotation=Tomorrow only issued two singles under that name.
