Cover versions
- P-Model covered the song for their 1984 album Another Game. The lyrics were adapted by bandleader Susumu Hirasawa, who focused on Japanese lyrics that sounded similar to the English version rather than a direct translation, turning it into a parodic version. It features a toy piano sound played by a Yamaha DX7.
- The Hotrats covered the song on their 2009 album Turn Ons.
- Phish has performed this song at (to date, Sept. 2015) 41 of their shows, often with drummer Jon Fishman playing a baby blue Electrolux vacuum cleaner.
- The song was played by Nick Mason's Saucerful of Secrets in 2018. "The interesting thing is how complex Syd's writing was," Mason observed. "I think we'd all agree that one of the most challenging songs is 'Bike', which has a very curious feel."
