One of the several mix ideas I've been considering is one about bicycles. Not that I've ever been too fond of cycling; I jumped off my bike in fear and skinned my knees pretty badly once when I was a kid, and haven't particularly wanted to ride since then. But it does seem like there are a fair number of songs I really like with bicycles as the subject, or at least mentioned. They seem to have been a hot topic in the psychedelic era, with songs like Pink Floyd's "Bike" (the only song by that band that I actually really like) and Tomorrow's "My White Bicycle" (which I think I used to have on my computer, but no longer do). The Dukes of Stratosphear went along with this idea for their own "Bike Ride to the Moon." Other songs I'm likely to include are:

Corn Mo - Just Some Kid on a Bike
Cracker - "Bicycle Spaniard" and "I Ride My Bike"
Decemberists - Apology Song
Ditty Bops - Walk or Ride (and possibly "Wishful Thinking" as well)
Lincoln - Smashing
John Linnell - South Carolina
Queen - Bicycle Race
Smiths - This Charming Man
They Might Be Giants - Dirt Bike
Vermillion Lies - Bicycle (part of Kim's 31 Songs in 31 Days project)

Any other ideas?
