Beschreibung

What's in a name? Plenty. Agassi Joel Roy hates his first name and wants everyone to call him Joel. He hates tennis too--and most other sports. But when he hears about the cycling competition in his town, he decides to take part. So what if he doesn't know cycling? Or doesn't own a working cycle? With a borrowed cycle--accompanied by a rather unexpected companion--and ample courage, Joel begins his lessons, with his neighbour Zeba as his tutor. Will Joel reach the finish line or will cycling join the list of most hated sports?
