Alex and the Bike Named Gravity: A Magical Guide to Mountain Biking

Is your child ready to find their courage and master the art of mountain biking?

Join Alex on a thrilling adventure in Alex and the Bike Named Gravity, a magical picture book that introduces kids to the exciting world of mountain biking. This is more than just a story; it's a fun-filled guide designed to inspire confidence, teach essential skills, and ignite a passion for the great outdoors.

One quiet afternoon, Alex wanders into a dusty old shed and discovers a slightly-too-big bike named GRAVITY. With a simple touch, the bike awakens a magical, six-fingered creature who whisks Alex away into a vibrant world of winding single-track trails and sun-dappled forests.

Together, they'll learn the secrets of the trail through a series of playful lessons. Alex discovers how to stand tall like a Giraffe for balance, crouch low like a Cougar for control, and use his brakes to safely skid and stop. But when a rocky, steep climb looms ahead, Alex must confront his fears and learn that true progress comes from building skills, not just wishing for magic.

This book is a perfect blend of whimsy and practical advice, teaching kids that with the right guidance and a little bit of courage, they can conquer any challenge. Every page is packed with fun sound effects and engaging dialogue, making it a joy to read aloud.

Alex and the Bike Named Gravity is the first book in a series dedicated to helping kids develop the confidence and skills they need to ride with safety and joy. It's the perfect gift for any young adventurer eager to explore the world on two wheels.
