Realizing the only way to end fossil fuels is to get rid of cars, best-friend athletes Tilly and Camas write a manifesto for their cross-country bicycle ride. The elders of Burning Man and the mayor of the Netherland bike mecca, Utrecht, are called upon to help execute the Great Petal Pedal Ride. Add an ominous monopoly of oil barons, an elegant, musical starlet riding for the cause on Route 66, a glacier wedding proposal, and the beloved cast of quirky, loving friends in a journey to a bike-first car-out world.
Bike Rock is Book 3 of the Pedro the Water Dog Saves the Planet series, a read-in-an-afternoon novella-length outdoor cli-fi adventure, filled with lovable, quirky characters in a candy wrapper of laughter, irreverence, kisses, friendship, satire, bicycles, love, and magnificent scenic beauty.
"In these wonderful stories, Kalfsbeek addresses important environmental issues through the loving, gentle hands of a cast of characters that are easy to connect with. One wants to be part of this healthy gang; it is easy to fall in love with one or two of them. She has found an avenue to address these critical issues that must be talked about but without a heavy hammer. A delightful read that will fill you with hope and a forgotten bounce in your step or pedal."
-Chris White, author of Wind, Waves and a Suicidal Boat
