- Hi, I'm Miss Penny, and these are the KidVision kids,
and we're here today to find out about bicycles.
- Well, you're in the right spot.
My name is Thomas, this is Diego.
We own Bike Nerds.
Why don't you guys come in and check it out?
(lively island music)
- What do you do here at the bike shop?
- Well, we do all kinds of things.
We do sales, we do rentals,
but my favorite thing is doing bike repairs.
- Ah, I love bike repairs.
That means you get to use tools!
- Yeah.
(lively island music)
(gleeful chimes) (popping sound)
(bluesy rock music)
- What kid of bike repairs do you do?
- Our most common repair is a flat repair.
- Oh, what's wrong with this bike?
- This one has a flat.
- Ah-ha!
- Yeah.
- You guys wanna help him fix it?
(bluesy rock music)
- [Miss Penny] What kind of tools are we gonna use?
- We'll need a couple tools.
We have them over here. - Okay.
- The most important for changing a tire
is called a tire lever.
We'll take the tire lever,
we stick it under the edge of the tire.
- So, see how it's working?
See it's a lever,
so lever means it's gonna lift something up.
- [Thomas] So we stick this under the tire.
- Levers lift.
Oh, look, he's doing it.
- There we go. Perfect.
- [Miss Penny] Good job.
- [Thomas] Now we gotta go all the way around.
- Is it a mechanic?
Do you call a repairman a mechanic?
- [Thomas] A bicycle mechanic.
- [Miss Penny] Bicycle mechanic.
So, right now you're being a bicycle mechanic.
- And now, you see, we have the tire off the rim.
- [Boy 2] What is all this? - That's the tube.
That's what actually hold the air.
So can you pull that out for me, please?
- Wow, did you know there was a tube inside the tire?
- [Boy 1] No.
- And then the final part is the valve right here.
You just have to squeeze the tire back,
so we can pull it right out.
- Oh, wow, what is it?
Let's look at that.
- [Tom] That's the valve.
- The valve, and what do you think the valve works for?
- [Boy 2] To put all of the air inside.
- Exactly.
- Okay, so now what is the next part
of fixing the flat tire?
- Okay, I'm gonna need your guidance to help me
put some air in the tube. - Oh, we have a new tube.
- Now you have to pump.
- Okay. - Ooooh!
- See, as you pump it's getting some air into it.
(playful rock music)
- [Miss Penny] After pumping a little bit of air
into the inner tube to give it shape,
put it back in the tire.
You believe that?
You're changing the tire, look at that!
- [Thomas] Your first flat.
Perfect. - Okay.
- Well, first we have to put air,
so we have the pump on the valve.
Now, I need you guys to help me give a lot of pumps.
- Yeah, I'll hold it down.
(happy rock music)
- It needs, I say, five more pumps.
Right now, it's at 45. - Oh, my gosh, okay.
- [Thomas] Let's go.
- [Together] One!
Two!
Three!
Four!
And five!
- All right, check the number.
- It's actually at 50, perfect.
- Perfect!
Yay!
Once we have the proper amount of air,
we put the wheel back on the bike.

- Mr. Diego, would you please talk to us
about the parts of a bike?
- Absolutely, the most important part of the bicycle
is what holds everything together.
That's what this piece here is.
- Frame. - The frame, exactly.
- Can you find the frame on your bike?
- Frame!
- [Diego] Awesome, guys! - [Penny] Great job.
- Very good, the next part is the ...
- [Boy 1] Handlebar. - You got it.
- The handlebar comes in different shapes,
it helps you steer the bicycle,
but it's also very important.
- [Boy 2] Right there!
- Where's you handlebars?
- I found my handlebars.
- [Miss Penny] That's right. - Great job. Great job, guys.
Next, what gets the bicycle moving is this piece here.
- [Boy 1] It's the crank.
- [Diego] You got it!
Where's the crank on your bike?
- That's right, it's a small circle.
Can you find it on your bike?
- [Boy 1] Here! Crank.
- [Diego] Yeah. - [Miss Penny] That's it.
- What moves the crank
and the wheels together is this piece.
What is this called? - [Boys Together] Chain!
- [Diego] The chain, you got it!
- [Miss Penny] Where's your chain?
- [Boy 1] Right there.
- What's next?
So I said the crank, and the chain.
They move the what?
- [Boy 2] Wheels!
- [Diego] Where are your wheels?
Where's your front wheel?
- Here! - You got it, that's right.
- [Miss Penny & Diego] - Where's your rear wheel?
- [Boy 1] Yah! - [Boy 2] Right here!
- Ah-hah you got it right! - Okay, very good job.
One last part, one last part,
where do you sit on the bicycle?
- [Boys & Diego] Saddle.
- And what's another name for saddle?
- [Together] Seat.
- Very good guys. - Good job.
(bouncy electronic string music)
(chimes) (popping sound)
(upbeat blues music)
- We are gonna play a shape game.
I spy with my little eye something ... round.
- Is that the wheels?
- The wheels, what's another word for round?
What shape is that?
- Circle.
- [Miss Penny and Diego] A circle.
- And how may sides does this circle have?
- [Boy 2] None.
- No sides, that's really good!
Okay, now you play I spy.
- [Boys] I spy with my little eye ...
- [Diego] My little eye.
- [Boy 2] A triangle.
- You spy a triangle?
Can you find a triangle?
- Show us all the sides to the triangle.
- One, two, three sides.
- Perfect!
- Three sides.
In a bicycle, what are those three sides altogether?
It's a frame.
What shape do you I spy?
- Circle.
- A circle!
Did we find circles?
Look around the room, do you see some other circles?
- [Boy 1] Lots!
- A lot of circles.
- Circle, circle, circle, circle.
- You are good shape finders.
Hooray for you!
Give me five.
Great job.
Yeah!
Are you ready to go out and ride a bike?
- Yeah!
- [Miss Penny] Let's go.
(chimes sound) (popping sound)
(bluesy rock music)
- Are we ready to ride?
- [Together] Yes!
- Awesome!
Just one quick thing.
Before we head out, we have to make sure that we're safe.
- Okay.
- The most important thing is wearing your helmets.
Always check if your tires have good pressure,
and always make sure your breaks are working good,
and always make sure you stick with an adult.
You don't wanna ride by yourself.
I think we're ready.
- Okay, we're gonna have a parade!
- Let's go on our parade ride!
- Alright, we're having a bicycle parade around the block!
To ride a bike, you need balance and control.
You balance your bike by making your weight feel the same
on both sides of the seat.
Pedal with both your feet, and steer with your handlebars.
It's hard at first, but with practice you'll get better.
And you'll find that riding a bike is a lot of fun.

- We had a lot of fun today.
Thank you for coming.
- Us too.
Give him a thumbs up!
- [Together] Bye!
