Todd Kowalski: The Hadron Collider is in [the CERN lab in] Switzerland, and is geared to find the Higgs boson particle, which people call the "God particle," so like searching for the answer to the universe. The Hadron Collider spins particles faster than the speed of light and, as soon as it gets going that fast, the mass grows so big that it slows itself down. I’m no scientist. The idea of the song is trying to ride your bike through traffic and disobey all of the laws, kind of like a Hadron collision.
The underlying theme of the song is to ride your bike instead of driving a car to save the world and keep your money from the hands of companies. It’s about self-propelling. Leave some stuff on the shelves that you don’t need. Even though the world is against you, just go and do your thing, get some exercise, have fun, ride hard and try to save what’s left of the world, even though the comfort and forces are against you.
