- 5:34Our next set of stories are about bikes, trikes, and unicycles,

- 5:45Books for Young Readers. It has a copyright year of
- 5:49twenty twenty and the book was written by Elizabeth Vergic.
- 5:58Trike is a rusty little fellow, A trusty little fellow
- 6:01on three worn down wheels. He sits parked in the
- 6:05dusty dark. Now that Lulu has outgrown me, he says,
- 6:09I sure am lonely. Through the years he and Lulu
- 6:13had braved summer, bee skin, knees, a wet seat, the
- 6:18big streets, and the time when Tiny Truce said ooh
- 6:24oh no go. One day, the garage door opens, grown
- 6:30in rows a happy young fellow, a snappy young fellow
- 6:34on four spiffed up wheels. Hi, I'm bike, says the
- 6:39new guy. His streamer's waiting. Oh, I'm trike. Trike thinks
- 6:43of his own scratches and patches. Beep two bike, I'm
- 6:52a secret surprise Lula's birthday, thinks trike. Bike is for
- 6:56her bike glass pasted. It's my oh first time. Whoops
- 7:02out of the store look out, says trike. Bike pops
- 7:06a wheelie bike, says Trike. Soon you'll meet your rider.
- 7:12Lulu is the nicest, watches trick, says Bike. Riding through
- 7:17hula hoop za zoom. Safety first, says trick. Back off,
- 7:23old timer says bike. I've got a need for speed.
- 7:27It's crowding here, says bike. Let's open the door. Bob
- 7:31pushes the button, bounce, Girl goes the door. Bike grows outside.
- 7:38That path looks fun. Let's race trick alone, thinks Trike
- 7:42without riders. First one to the woods is the winner.
- 7:46On wheels, says bike. Hmm. Trike knows each turn and
- 7:51twist in that path. Bike doesn't. I'll be the champ,
- 7:55yells bike if I win, says Trike. You have to
- 7:59promise to let Lulu ride at her own pace. Bike
- 8:03nods Oakie dokey pokey jump rope forms the starting line.
- 8:08The pom poms cheer whistle blows, go go go pedal
- 8:13pedal pedal trikes, wills squeak his metal parts creak. Bike
- 8:18flows by pedal pedal pedal pedal. Trick pushes harder pedal
- 8:23petal pedal. You can do this, Trick tells himself for
- 8:28Lulu and the way the two of us flew. Trike
- 8:31catches up to bike from his handlebars to his wheels.
- 8:35Trike feels a ping and a zing zing. His bell
- 8:38ring ring rings, the way it did when Lulu was
- 8:42in the driver's seats. Oops, trikes and bikes. Bike wheels
- 8:46go bump, ouch, Bike shouts. Trike stops to help. Are
- 8:51you okay? Bike? Bike suddenly takes off the wrong way.
- 8:55I'm going four wheeling, calls Bike as he heads off
- 8:58the road. A short cut, dip dash, Bike's gone in
- 9:02a flash the cliff. Trike gasp. Bike doesn't know how
- 9:08steep it is. Trike has to head bike off at
- 9:11the pass. Trike zip zip zips, calling bike hit the brakes.
- 9:18The grass is slick. Trike loses his grip. He tips,
- 9:22tips tips crash, that was close. Just miss the cliffs,
- 9:28says Trike. I guess we both went too fast. Hum yes,
- 9:32says Bike. I'm sorry for showing off. I guess I
- 9:35have a lot to learn. I can teach you, says trike.
- 9:38Bike leans over streamers dangling here, take my Handlebart Trike,
- 9:44I'll help you up. Try chuckles. At least one part
- 9:48of me is nude, which part asks bike? This dent
- 9:52Bike says I like you Trike, Thanks friend, Bike and
- 9:56Trick ride side by side, one big, I'm small, two
- 10:01winners on wheels. The next day, at birthday, Lulu and
- 10:06True hop on beep beep, beep, ringing, and off they go.
- 10:15Our next book is titled Unicycle Dad, and it was
- 10:18published by Amicus Ink. It has a copyright year of
- 10:24twenty twenty four and the author of the book is
- 10:27Sarah Hovorka. Whoosh. When Day first starts peddling, the unicycle
- 10:34pitches forward and the wheels slides backward. Whoops until he
- 10:39gets going. The zooms up and down our street like
- 10:42a flying bird. I want to soar like that too.
- 10:47When I try, I just wobble flop. Dad pulls me
- 10:51to my feet. It only takes perseverance, Sarah, Keep trying
- 10:56until you get it. He makes it sound easy. Slowly
- 11:02whoa and carefully woo. No way, I'm letting go of
- 11:08the wall. The ground looks so far away too soon,
- 11:12Dad says, time to start dinner. He doesn't have anyone
- 11:15to help since Mom left. He does everything, even his
- 11:18job is a janter and going to school by himself.
- 11:22He's all alone. A unique parents spaghetti again, it's what
- 11:29we can afford. But I'm graduating tonight. Then I can
- 11:32get a promotion to work as we get ready. Dad
- 11:35says this graduation won't be as grand as high school graduation.
- 11:39He goes to a continuation school. It's for people who
- 11:44didn't have the chance to go to regular high school.
- 11:46I say, I'm going to finish high school right away,
- 11:50and I'm going to college. At the ceremony, my brother
- 11:54John and I are as proud as we can be.
- 11:56After Dad gets this diploma, not everyone collapse and cheered, cheered, cheers.
- 12:02The principal says a whole lot about how my dad
- 12:05is hardworking and he'll soon soar two great heights. But
- 12:12Dad doesn't get a promotion. Instead, he has to get
- 12:15a second job at night, and we get a babysitter.
- 12:18Most days I practice on the unicycle and do my homework,
- 12:21But it doesn't feel like soaring. It feels like hard work.
- 12:25Some days I want to give up. I keep trying, though,
- 12:29just like Dad does. To help him out. I teach
- 12:32myself to cook. This doesn't taste like dad spaghetti. John complaints,
- 12:37that's because it's big cis spaghetti with my secret sauce.
- 12:41I tell him I worked hard on it. John works
- 12:46hard too. For John and me, the days fell long
- 12:49without day and around. Sometimes I wonder if I'll ever
- 12:52see Dad ride the unicycle again. One evening, bam, the
- 12:58door swings open, Dad, Why are you homesorly? Is something wrong?
- 13:04Then I see the laugh of Dad's eyes. It spills
- 13:07right out of him and rushes over me. I did it.
- 13:10I got the promotion. My heart leaps my feet, final
- 13:14little hooray. I ask, does this mean you'll be home more? Yes?
- 13:19And I can't wait to spend more time with you both.
- 13:22You guys are the reason I work so hard and
- 13:24never gave up. And I knowsed all your hard work too,
- 13:28My two high flyers. He wraps his arms around us,
- 13:32squeeze and starts to spin around. I laugh as I
- 13:35rise like a sailing kite. How should we celebrate? Dad? Ask?
- 13:40Ice cream? John yells yes, let's ride there. I say,
- 13:46I don't know if I can pedal the whole way there. John, says,
- 13:50I smile at him. It only takes perseverance, I say,
- 13:54Dad laughs as he hops onto the unicycle. After a
- 13:58pitchford and a slide backward, he gets going and Za
- 14:01zooms ahead. Someday I'll soar like that too, But for now, woosh.
- 14:08Our next story is titled Wild Blue Taming a Big
- 14:12Kid Bike, and it was published by candle Wick Press
- 14:18has a copyright ear of twenty twenty three. The author
- 14:21is Dashka Slater. My peak pony and I ride the
- 14:26wide open spaces from sunrise to sunset until my daddy says,
- 14:31you've grown, Kayla, You're too big for that eddy bitty bike.
- 14:36Then he puts my pony out to pasture and takes
- 14:38me to wrangle a new one from the herd. I
- 14:42name her wild Blue. Daddy helps me settle her up
- 14:45and I take the reins. We're going places, I tell her.
- 14:50But Wild Blue bucks me off. Daddy. I yell, this
- 14:55spike's not tame enough to ride. You have to get
- 14:58right back on, Daddy said, show her whose boss? So
- 15:02I do, But while Blue bucks me off again and again,
- 15:07she's too spirited. I say, I want my pink pony back.
- 15:11But Daddy just wheels his red stallion from the stable
- 15:15and puts my brother in the back saddle. Let's go
- 15:18to the park, he says. You can practice there. At
- 15:22the park. I check her spokes for brakes and her
- 15:26frame for scrapes. I sing her little writing song, gentle bike,
- 15:30good bike, nice bike. You don't have to buck and kick.
- 15:33You can row slowly slow, yippity yippity yo. Daddy asks,
- 15:38are you planning to ride that bike today? Maybe? I say.
- 15:43Taming a wild blue bicycle takes time. I comb wile
- 15:47Blue's mane and stroke her flanks. We watch the other
- 15:51bike's whiz by, cantering and galloping. While Blue lifts her head,
- 15:56sniffs the wind. She trills her bill a while'll bike Winnie.
- 16:02She wants to run, and so do. I go ahead,
- 16:07Daddy says. I put one foot over and rest it
- 16:10on the strup. I look around and see if anybody's watching.
- 16:13Wile Blue gets nervous when people stare. I push off
- 16:17with my other foot. Wile Blue goes slow in a
- 16:21little wobbley because she's not sure who's in charge. I'm
- 16:24not sure who's in charge either, but I know it's
- 16:27supposed to be me, so I pedal hard until we
- 16:29stop wobbling, and then we ride around the playground, down
- 16:34to the tennis courts, up to the snack bar, and
- 16:38across the wall blue prairie. Her legs are my legs,
- 16:42her main, my name, her breath, My breath looks like
- 16:48you tame that bicycle, Daddy says, I shake my head. Nope,
- 16:54she's still wild, I say, but so am I. Our
- 16:59next book is called Danny and the Dinosaur Ride a Bike,
- 17:03and it was published by Harper and in Print of
- 17:06Harper Collins Publishers. It has a copyright year of twenty
- 17:10twenty and it was written by Bruce Hale. One day,
- 17:14when Danny went to visit his friend the Dinosaur, the
- 17:17two friends saw a huge bicycle in front of the museum. Wow,
- 17:21said the dinosaur. I wonder what that's for. There's new exhibits,
- 17:26said Danny, all about the history of bicycles. That sounds
- 17:29like fun, said the Dinosaur. So why do you look sad?
- 17:34Danny frowned. I can't ride a bike. Betty can ride,
- 17:37Sophia can ride, even zig Zag Zach can write. But
- 17:41not me, he said. If they can learn, you can learn,
- 17:45said the dinosaur. I don't know, said Danny. Come on,
- 17:49said the dinosaur. It'll be easy. I'll help you. They
- 17:52borrow Betty's bicycle. The dinosaur put lots of pillows around
- 17:57the parking lot to give Danny a soft landing. It
- 18:00didn't work the way the dinosaur planned. Each time Danny
- 18:04fell off, he totally missed the pillows. Ouch, sorry, said
- 18:08the dinosaur. Balancing is tricky, said Danny. You're thinking too much,
- 18:13said the dinosaur. Here I'll distract you. Let's sing a song.
- 18:18Row row row your boat, sang Danny gently, down the whoa.
- 18:24Danny tumbled off again. This is too hard, he said,
- 18:27I should just quit nonsense, said the dinosaur. We'll try
- 18:32again tomorrow. The next day, the dinosaur lay down in
- 18:36the parking lot. Just ride along beside my tail, he said.
- 18:40That way you can lean on me if you're about
- 18:43to fall. Danny gave it a try, and instead of
- 18:46leaning on his friend's tail, he ran over. Yikes, and
- 18:50Danny fell again. Ouch. This really isn't working, said Danny.
- 18:55Maybe some people just can't ride bikes. The dinosaur didn't
- 18:58know what to do. How could he help his friend?
- 19:02When Danny walked the bike away, he almost stepped on
- 19:05a mouse. Danny was so surprised he jumped into his
- 19:08bicycle seat. The bike row gently downhill, and Danny didn't fall.
- 19:14Danny put his feet on the pedals, and just like that,
- 19:16he was riding. I'm doing it, he whooked, I'm riding
- 19:20a bike. The dinosaur cheered. Yay, Danny. I knew you
- 19:25could do it. I wish we could ride together, said Danny.
- 19:28The dinosaur smiled. Maybe we can. What do you mean,
- 19:32asked Danny. The dinosaur brought out the big bike from
- 19:35the museum. I've been practicing, he said, but I didn't
- 19:39want to tell you until you could ride too. What
- 19:43are we waiting for, said Danny. Let's ride. Our next
- 19:48book is titled bi Biking and it was published by
- 19:53bell Weather Media Incorporated. Has a copyright year of twenty

- 21:48friends to stay safe. Buddies also make biking more fun.
- 21:53Our next story is titled How Mister Felix Entered a
- 21:57Bicycle Race. It was published by Albatross, an imprint of
- 22:03Albatross's Media Group, and it was written Excuse Me. And
- 22:07it was published in twenty twenty five copyright year. And
- 22:13it was written by Peter Seventini. No one thought mister
- 22:19Felix would join the town's a grand bicycle race. Why
- 22:23would he? Mister Felix was an ordinary man, a little
- 22:26quirky perhaps. He lived surrounded by trinkets, oh treasures, newspaper
- 22:31clippings and cardboard boxes from deliveries of shoes and books.
- 22:35His stove and oven were buried beneath the mountain of boxes,
- 22:38so he cooked his meals on a small electric stove
- 22:41in the living room. He liked it this way, it
- 22:45felt cozier. Mister Felix always wore faded green overalls and
- 22:50worn out hiking boots. He occasionally cut his hair, but
- 22:53never shaved his beard, which he took extra care of
- 22:57brushing and braiding each morning into neat braids. When he
- 23:01wasn't reading or listening to music, mister Felix visited the
- 23:05college library, where he often sat on the front steps
- 23:08and chatted with students. Mister Felix knew many wild, wacky facts,
- 23:13and the students loved to quiz him on his knowledge,
- 23:16but they never heard him talk about bicycles or racing.
- 23:21The day was Friday, June fourteenth, the day of the
- 23:23Grand Bicycle Race. The college's front plaza marked the race's
- 23:28starting line, framed by large scaff folding with colorful flags
- 23:31to celebrate the racers. Mister Felix, on his daily morning
- 23:35walk to the college library, strode through the line of cyclists,
- 23:39oblivious to the momentous event. On your mark, skids set go,
- 23:44and airhorn blasts to signal the official start. The cyclists
- 23:48set off. The cyclists sped by in a hurry, flurry
- 23:52of color and cheers from the crowd. Mister Felix, aren't
- 23:55you racing, one of his students' friends asked, knee race.
- 24:00Mister Phillis asked breathlessly, he had never considered himself a
- 24:04good cyclist, but maybe this was a chance to try
- 24:07something new. Do you have a bike I could borrow?
- 24:10The student pointed to a rusty red bike resting against
- 24:13the building. Go on, take it, mister Philix. S trapped
- 24:17his newspaper onto the luggage track and climbed onto the bike.
- 24:21Throw me a bib number. He caught out to the
- 24:23judges at the starting line, steering the bike along the course.
- 24:27You better pedal hard to catch up. A judge shouted
- 24:31and gave mister Phillis the number. Cheers erupted from the crowd.
- 24:35As mister Phillis tore down the course, he squinted his
- 24:39eyes against the wind, his beard and newspaper flapping behind him,
- 24:43and pedaled hard to catch up to the other racers.
- 24:47Soon he caught up to the slowest racers and passed them.
- 24:50He caught up to the medium fast ones and passed them.
- 24:53He caught up to the racers who were a little
- 24:56fast and passed them. And then he caught up to
- 24:59the very fast and passed them. To the cycling star
- 25:03was in the making. The TV camera operator turned to
- 25:06focus on mister Felix, who, to everyone's amazement, was alone
- 25:10out in front. The commentator roared into the microphone, making
- 25:14the speakers on your TV's crackle. He is peddling at
- 25:18his speed never seen before. He's passed everyone, and he
- 25:22is still gaining speed. If he had wings, he would
- 25:24simply fly off. Unbelievable. Unbelievable. More and more people lining
- 25:31the racing course to see the new cycling star. But then,
- 25:35just when the news in an unknown superstar cyclist was
- 25:38announced on TV and radio, mister Felix stopped. He purchased
- 25:42like outside two kenying in in front of growing crowd
- 25:45in order to eliminate what's going on? You're supposed to
- 25:48be racing, not taking a lemonade break, The TV commentator
- 25:53shrieked as he jumped out of his car. Mister Felix
- 25:56calmly opened his newspaper as the spectators gaped in surprise.
- 26:00The fastest cyclists reached the inn and flew past, then
- 26:04the medium fast ones, and finally the slowest. The commentator
- 26:08grumbled as he left to follow the other racers, missing
- 26:11the opportunity to cover a brand new cycle. In sensation,
- 26:15the crowd slowly dispersed, signed and disappointment. Mister Felix took
- 26:20his last sip, footed the newspaper, paid for the women
- 26:23ate and stood up. He took the newspaper back to
- 26:26the luggage track, climbed into the bike, and pushed off
- 26:29the ground in a mighty stomp. Soon he caught up
- 26:32to the slowest and passed them. He caught up to
- 26:35the less slow ones and passed them too. Then he
- 26:38caught up to the medium fast, the kind of fast,
- 26:40and the fastest razors. He passed them all. The commentator's
- 26:45voice was hoarse from screaming. A miracle. It's a miracle.
- 26:48The unknown racer has done the impossible. Mister Felix sailed
- 26:52down the hill into a town, just two more landmarks
- 26:55before the finish line, the lake and the harbor. Onlooker
- 27:00crowded the side of the course, cheering him on. Years
- 27:03at home jumped up and down in front of their TVs.
- 27:06His closest pursuers mounted a final attack. They closed in
- 27:10on mister Felix, but he peddled harder and increased his
- 27:13lead at such speed it was impossible to catch up
- 27:17to him. He was going to win the race. Mister
- 27:20Felix approached the lake which marked the final mile, when
- 27:24a few hundred yards to the finish line. Only one
- 27:28last push and then oh water. Perfect time to freshen up,
- 27:33mister Felix said, breaking and getting off his bicycle again.
- 27:38Who is this mad man? The commentator croaked. The pursuers
- 27:42shot past, but the camera stayed with mister Felix. Than
- 27:46not to be grand winner, mister Felix dropped the bicycle
- 27:49into the grass, took off his boots and buttoned his overalls,
- 27:52and stripped his underwear. The viewers watched in shock as
- 27:55mister Felix let out a big whoop and dove headfirst
- 27:59into the lake. Later that afternoon, after the Winter had
- 28:03been awarded the shiny golden trophy, mister Felix and his
- 28:06friend who lent him the bicycle, sat on the shore
- 28:09of the lake, watching the grass sway in the wind
- 28:13and the fish swim under the water surface. Why did
- 28:15you stop so close to the finish line, the student asked.
- 28:19I saw the beautiful lake and I couldn't resist. It
- 28:22was fun to raise, but all I wanted was to
- 28:24cool off and enjoy the day. This concludes the children's
- 28:29story I are for today. Please join us next time
