A warm and heartfelt story of a little boy with a bicycle-obsessed dad learning to ride a bike of his very own.

Reviews / Votes
This simple story will appeal to any bike-mad dad who is desperate to share his passion with his offspring. * The Big Issue * Just right for sharing with young children starting out on the road to becoming competent cyclists. * Books for Keeps * This book is beautifully illustrated [...] Those who are learning the skills of pedalling, balancing and being brave will recognise the stages this young athlete goes through, and if these things are not familiar, they are explained through the text and illustrations and will undoubtedly become goals for young readers. [...] A book that children from around two years old to six would enjoy with adults as well as alone. * Read for Good * This tale of patience and determination is one to share especially with those starting on the road to becoming confident bike riders. * Red Reading Hub * A charming and gentle story with a message that you might summarise as 'the family that bikes together, stays together'. [...] It's also a lesson about trust and how to come to terms with taking your time to master new skills. * The Letterpress Project *More details
