The Bicycle Boys Kevin Aldrich

Good-hearted Max Bradley (12), the proud owner of a Schwinn Phantom, the greatest bike in existence up till the summer of '63, is seduced into evil by Sandy Driscoll (14), an ultra cool, self-destructive newcomer who rides a custom-built muscle bike, the forerunner of the Stingray, the next great thing on wheels. For his new best friend, Sandy chooses Max's brother, Joseph (13), who will do whatever it takes to win the heart of his first love, Belinda Valentine (14), a gutsy beauty who has already fallen for Sandy. The antics of her hilarious brother Itchycat (13) produce plenty of laughs, as do Joseph's romantic mishaps. Max learns about guilt, punishment, forgiveness and true nobility.
