  • Bicycling Rules of the Road

    Schiffer Publishing Ltd Bicycling Rules of the Road

    Book SynopsisTrade Review"Bicycling Rules of the Road" is the second cycling safety rules title by artist /author/cyclist Kelly Pulley, following "The Cycling Wangdoos (9780764354069)." Bike enthusiast and cyclist Devin Van Dyke knows all the bicycling rules because his mother and father have taught him well. Also, he knows his mother worries about him. So he tries to follow the rules of cycling such as wear your helmet, follow traffic rules, no passengers allowed on the bike, ride on the right, use signals, etc. However, Devin was so happy and eager to share his lovely lively bike ride that he forgot one of the rules when Betsy LaBelle asked him if he could give her a ride. One things leads to another, and soon Devin is forgetting even more bicycle safety rules and practicing very unsafe bicycle riding habits indeed. Humorous, action filled bright colored illustrations express all the excitement and danger of Devin's extremely daring and unconventional bike ride, carrying not only Betsy, but the whole basketball team, a cat, and a goat besides! Needless to say the rule breaking ride ends in disaster, but fortunately not serious injury to anyone but the 408 boxes of worms for Bubba's Fish Bait that fell off the truck Devin ran into, cushioning everyone's fall with gooey worm slime......Euuuuuuuuu. But Devin learned his lesson. From then on he followed all the bicycling rules. Just to be sure, they are written twice in the book, first in the front in verse, and second in clear narrative prose on the last page, Bicycling Rules of the Road. "Bicycling Rules of the Road" uses verse, dashing color illustrations, charm and humor to deliver a memorable safety message for young readers age 5 and up. -- Midwest Book Review, Children's Bookwatch[Bicycling Rules of the Road] took me back to memories of riding my bicycle as a kid. I love riding my bike because I feel free, but with that freedom comes a responsibility to ride safely. As cyclists it is our duty to ride as safely as possible and to obey the rules of the road. I never leave home without my helmet and I obey all traffic laws, because I know that my life is at stake. Kelly Pulley does a great job of capturing the essence of bicycle riding and the importance of being safe on the road. -- Guy East, professional track cyclist and founder of Hope SportsIdeal when reinforcing for children, the importance of safely riding a bicycle. -- Librarian on a BicycleGreat book for introducing basic bicycle rules to young kids. -- iHeartLiteracy
