In the adventurous state of Vermont, tucked snugly amongst the lush Green Mountains, bike riding isn't just a pastime - it's a way of life. The kids here are not your everyday, run-of-the-mill, cookie-munching munchkins. Oh no! They are daring, tire-pedaling, bike-whizzing daredevils, constantly in competition with the mountain winds. Meet Sam Squiggles, the local legend with a head full of fiery red hair and a heart full of unending courage. Sam is known as the "Two-Wheeled Tornado" around these parts. When he's not busy slurping gallons of maple syrup straight from the trees (a true Vermonter, that one), he's off zipping down the steepest hills, his bicycle roaring like a dragon on a sugar rush, his laughter echoing through the valleys. Every morning at the crack of dawn, kids from all corners of Vermont gather, armed with their shiny bikes, hearts pounding with excitement. You can hear the far-off "moo" of a cow, as if cheering them on. With a quick nod to his fellow bikers, Sam would kick off the day's race. Fire in their eyes, the young riders pedal like there's no tomorrow, their laughter ringing through the crisp Vermont air. But it's not all about who comes first. Oh no! It's about the journey, the whooshing of the wind in their hair, the sweet scent of the forests, the rustling whispers of the leaves. It's about making memories and friends. So folks, if you ever find yourself in Vermont, watch out for the "Two-Wheeled Tornado" and his band of bikers. Join them, if you dare!
