The races are part of a bike rally, but from little brother nagging to go along until the final spurt it could be another horse opera; there's even a bear in the woods he has to pedal through to catch up with big brother Bob. Bob is a winner in both his events but the kid (always so-called) comes through too-he's second in the Kids' overland (and ruts and walls and river) Race. The figures are splotchy stereotypes and the text is equally ; only if you put the cycling appeal before all other considerations will you want to stock this.
