A joyful all-ages celebration of bicycle culture written by bestselling author and musician Dan Saks.

We live to bike.

We’re born to ride!

We love a chance

to get outside.

From balance bikes to two-wheelers, biking is a rite of passage and a joyful part of children’s lives. Inspired by his own family and biking community, Dan Saks rolls through the milestones and magic of bike culture, inspiring kids to build confidence, connection, and care for the Earth along the way. This read-aloud is one ride everyone will want to join!

Dan Saks is an acclaimed author, musician, and creator of Noodle Loaf, an award-winning music podcast for kids. His board books celebrate the beauty of diverse family experiences (Families Belong, Families Can, Families Grow) and highlight the importance of community and connection (We Share This School, We Share This Earth, We Share This Neighborhood). His first picture book, On Our Bikes, is his love letter to life on two wheels and the magic of sharing it with your kids. Through all his work, Dan fosters creativity, inclusivity, and a sense of belonging for readers and listeners of all ages.
