I can ride with one hand, I can ride without feet. There's just one problem — Can you imagine how it feels To be the world's greatest rider And still use training wheels? It really does bug me. I want to bike in style. One day to make up for it, I rode for miles and miles.

Then I rode for 18 more Before I stopped to tie my shoe. I pedaled 32 miles To Tuscaloosa Bay. Then I pedaled 26 more — People cheering on my way! I rode 40 miles to Palooka When I heard a rattling sound. I was going down a hill, So I could not turn around. When I reached the bottom, I pulled over a lawn. I looked down at my bike And my training wheels were gone! "Oh wow!" I said. "I did it! "You don't know how good this feels." Now I AM the world's best rider, And I DON'T need training wheels!
