The protagonist is Kit and she is determined to learn to ride her bike. Her desire to ride like her older brother Mike and be as big and as cool as him is what drives her. She is afraid of failing and never being able to ride without her training wheels. She is also afraid of being made fun of!
“Her hands gripped the bright, shiny handle bars of his new Schwinn. It was another step up from her old, rusty tricycle. When it was brought out with the big red bow on it she got the biggest smile on her young, carefree face. As she climbed on, a big gust of wind blew through her thick curly hair. The young, high voice screeched out with a happy shout as she sped down the long, gravel driveway. Untied and frayed, her shoelaces bounced against the side of the riding device.”
