Zoe Max and the Bicycle Bus

The sun is shining and today feels like an adventure, only one I can go on whenever I want because I have a bicycle and friends and a city just waiting to be explored.

With their new teachers help, the kids in Class 5D ride to school together in a bicycle bus. Olivia can fix a puncture in two minutes and Max can ride on one wheel. Lily wishes she wasnt quite so wobbly and Jordis been waiting forever to ride on the road. Dylan has a speedy getaway from alley cats, Dabirs glad to be part of a group and Zoes bike even has a name (Esmeralda). Everyone loves their new way of getting to school.

But theres a narrow stretch on Fishers Road with no white line to separate the cyclists from the local traffic, so Zoe and Max decide they need to make it right (even if that means breaking a few rules).

Award-winning author Steven Herricks latest verse novel is an ode to bike-riding, the environment and fixing the future.
