"Let's start a bike club!" she said.
Tom and Mia loved the idea. "We can call it the Bike Buddies Club!" said Tom. They all agreed. The Bike Buddies Club was born!
The next day, they made signs. They put the signs all over the neighborhood. The signs said, "Bike Buddies Club! Meet us at the park!"
On Saturday, many kids came to the park. Lily, Tom, and Mia were so happy! They all rode their bikes together. They played games like "Red Light, Green Light" on their bikes.
One little boy, Sam, was new to the neighborhood. He didn't have any friends yet. He saw the Bike Buddies Club and wanted to join. He was shy, but Lily smiled at him.
"Hi! Do you want to ride with us?" she asked.
Sam smiled back. "Yes, please!" he said.
Sam rode with the Bike Buddies Club all day. He laughed and had so much fun. He made new friends. He wasn't shy anymore.
