Brian the Borrowed Bicycle
"What if finishing mattered more than coming first?"
Brian is a borrowed bicycle. He isn't the fastest. He isn't the newest. And he certainly isn't the shiniest. But Brian has one big goal: to finish the school bike race.
As the other bicycles race ahead, Brian begins to struggle. His chain slips. His handlebars wobble. His tyre starts to soften. Giving up would be easy. Brian keeps going.
Brian the Borrowed Bicycle is a warm, beautifully illustrated children's picture book about perseverance, confidence, and learning that success doesn't always mean being the best.

A story about more than a bicycle race
Children spend a lot of time comparing themselves with others.
- Someone reads faster.
- Someone gets higher marks.
- Someone runs quicker.
- Someone seems more confident.
For a child who already doubts themselves, those comparisons can make simply trying feel frightening.

Brian the Borrowed Bicycle uses accessible language, manageable sections of text and colourful illustrations to create an enjoyable reading experience.
It is designed for all young readers, with particular care for children who don't always find reading easy.
