she frowned. “I suppose you can actually

“N...no,” Jay said slowly. “What’s it like?”

“Flippin heck!”

Jay shook his head too.

“Can’t everyone ride a bike?” said Abby.

Abby had grabbed his arm and pulled him

outside.

“Come on!” she said.

She pushed her bike round the side of the

house into Jay’s back garden. Jay followed.

She wheeled it to the top of the long path that

wound from the house to the end of the

garden. She clicked the gears in place.
