Look at this wonderful machine! It is a bicycle. You can also call it a bike. A bicycle is something you ride with your legs. You push the pedals with your feet, and the wheels go round and round!

Let us look at the front first. See those two handles? They are called the handlebars. You hold them with your hands to steer the bike. The handlebars on this bicycle go straight across, like a long, flat line. They are not curved up or down — just nice and level.

Now look at where the handlebars are. They are a little lower than the seat. That means when you sit on this bike, you lean forward just a little bit. That helps you go fast!

Now look at theseat. It is the part where you sit. This seat is thin. It is shaped like a smooth, flowing line — that is called streamlined. A streamlined seat helps the wind go right over it. That makes riding easier and faster.

Now look at the wheels. This bicycle has two big wheels — one in the front and one in the back. Do you see all the little lines that look like a spider web inside the wheels? We did not draw those! Those are called spokes. On this bicycle, we left the spokes out so you can see the wheels nice and clearly.

This is a simple yet structurally complete bicycle. If you’re a cycling enthusiast, follow the instructions below to learn how to draw it!
