I found this book while in Jamba Juice buying a smoothie the other day. It's a kid's book but I enjoyed it so much I bought a copy for myself. It comes with a CD full of kid songs about bicycling and a forward by Lance Armstrong. I noticed they also have a web site. You can check it out here . . . http://www.MikeandtheBike.com
And under Photos there's even a forum! Under videos there are videos of kids riding their bikes and reciting poetry . . . just explore the site. I just wanted to share it with those of you who have kids.

I love this book! I first saw it listed around Christmas time in either Nashbar or Performance. I bought two copies--one for my 5 year old nephew and one for me! I think my roommate thought I was nuts jamming to kids music, the tunes are actually quite catchy for adults too!

It's an adorable book. My little grandson really loves the songs!

I clicked on link, but it is taking so long to load I might have to look at it on my work connection.
As it is the Tour de Georgia, we may not get the book in shops in Middle Earth - I will look out for it though and make a few enquiries based on your recommendations...
Cheers

My daughter has been playing around with the site a bit. It's a bit simple, but fun. And she likes the songs, too.
