Go Bicycling

Summer is here,
Days are longer,
It is still bright after supper.

“Go bicycling! Go bicycling!” Yells Rebecca.
“Go bicycling! Go bicycling!” Agrees Gabriella.
“Let’s go!” Says Daddy.
“Helmets and pads, please.” Reminds Mommy.

Rebecca’s helmet is Barbie,
And Gabriella’s Sponge Bob.
With helmets and pads on
They are now ready to go.

“I am scared!” Gabriella steps back.
“You're ok.” Daddy gently puts her on her bike.
“Look! There are three wheels at the back.

Super Daddy is with you,

and you will certainly be alright.”

Gabriella starts to pedal with Daddy’s help.
Soon she knows how to pedal by herself.

She pedals away on her own.
“Way to go!” Daddy and Mommy clap.

Rebecca rides a bicycle without training wheels.
She knew how to ride her bicycle one year ago.
Mommy runs after her,

leaving Daddy and Gabriella alone.

Along the big loop, then the small one,
Rebecca pedals and Mommy runs.
They meet Daddy and Gabriella again

in front of their house.

It’s the time to go home,
But Gabriella wants to ride more.
“Two more minutes, that’s all!”

Bicycling is fun,
They can’t wait to do it again.
