Born in a Factory: I started my life in a busy factory. Many skilled workers put me together piece by piece.
My Parts: I was made with a strong metal frame, two rubber tires, a comfortable seat, and shiny handlebars.
My First Owner: A Little Boy Named Tim
Meeting Tim: One sunny day, a kind boy named Tim saw me in a bicycle shop and chose me to be his new friend.
Our Adventures: Tim and I went on many adventures together. We rode to school, the park, and his friends’ houses.
Learning to Ride: At first, Tim was wobbly and fell a few times. But soon, he became a great rider, and we zoomed around everywhere.
Growing Up Together
The Big Race: One special day, Tim entered a bicycle race. We practiced a lot, and Tim rode me faster than ever. We didn’t win, but we had so much fun trying!
Decorations: Tim loved decorating me. He put colorful streamers on my handlebars and even added a little bell that went “ding ding”!
A New Adventure: Tim Grows Up
Getting Bigger: As the years went by, Tim grew taller and eventually needed a bigger bicycle. He was sad to say goodbye, but he knew it was time.
The Garage: I spent some time in the garage, resting and waiting for my next adventure.
My New Home: A Family with Twins
Meeting the Twins: One day, Tim’s family gave me to their neighbors who had twin girls, Lily and Lucy.
Double the Fun: With the twins, life was double the fun! They took turns riding me and we went on many playful adventures.
Teaching to Ride: Just like with Tim, I helped Lily and Lucy learn how to ride. They were giggly and full of joy every time they rode me.
An Unexpected Turn: An Accident
The Big Crash: One rainy afternoon, Lily took a sharp turn, and we crashed into a tree. My tire was bent, and I couldn’t be ridden.
Repair Shop: The twins’ parents took me to a bicycle repair shop. The mechanic fixed my tire and gave me a tune-up. I felt brand new again!
Off to a Charity
Helping Others: As the twins grew older, they also needed bigger bikes. Their family decided to donate me to a charity.
New Friends: I was taken to a place where many other bicycles were waiting for new owners. It was exciting to think about my next adventure.

Meeting Sam: A few days later, a boy named Sam came to the charity. His eyes lit up when he saw me, and he knew we were meant to be together.
Exploring Together: Sam and I explored the neighborhood, parks, and even the beach. We had so much fun discovering new places.
Helping the Environment: Sam taught me about the environment and how riding a bicycle helps keep the air clean. I felt proud to be a part of something so important.
