In fact, we bicycles are the best friends of children. We give them their first feeling of freedom, their first feeling of controlling an object which is as big as their own bodies. With us, children learn that by the help of their meticulous minds, their muscles can diffuse into metal; their blood can pass through our cables and chains. Then they learn that the life they have is a gift and a bicycle is a useless combination of metal pieces if they do not ride us. They love us and we love them.
