Bicycles – read and learn, Lola Schaefer (2003)

A colourful paperback aimed at young readers, probably in the first years of primary school

Raintree 1 844 21383 8 Octo 24pp £4.99

A nice, simple book from a series based on means of transport (the others are busses, cars and trains). Each spread has a couple of pictures and four easy sentences explaining about different kinds of bicycle – from BMX, to track bikes and mountain bikes.

This would a fun book to give to and read with a child that you were hoping to interest in cycling. Ideally, it might be used to tee up the arrival of that child’s first bicycle.
