Ronan was the first child of Daniel and Sarita Jason. The Jasons owned a bike shop in St Andrew. Every evening, the family of three would close the shop and take a bike ride through the park.  Waiting till Ronan was at least two to start putting him on the bike with them, Daniel made sure he knew how to tuck and roll if there was a fall.  Sarita on her cruiser bike and Daniel on his mountain bike, Ronan rode the chariot strapped to his dad’s bike while they zoomed along the trail. Bike rides were his absolute favorite.

He doesn’t remember the day he first met bike fairies.  It was more like he always knew they’re around.  Bike fairies following his parents through the park tickled Ronan’s face and tussled his hair while he sat mesmerized by their shimmering radiance.  The fairies would gather all around his seat in unique and unlikely ways to relax, which was right above the wheel making for a perfect resonant listening zone, as they rode through the park.

Reba and Trudy, both bike fairies, lived on the bike pedals of Ronan’s parents. Reba lived on Sarita’s left pedal and Trudy on Daniel’s right pedal.  Reba and Trudy met around the same time that Ronan’s parents met.  Daniel and Sarita’s first date was a bike ride on the country road. Not too long into the ride, Reba and Trudy introduced themselves.  Soon after they realized they knew a lot of the same fairies and shared a lot of the same interests, including singing fairy spoke songs. It was a wonder they hadn’t met before then. They’ve been friends ever since that bike ride five years ago.

When Ronan came along, Reba and Trudy showered him with fairy kindness. They whispered bike fairy songs in his ears, showed him magic tricks, did acrobatic tumbles, tickled, played with and loved him every single day. 

Sarita and Daniel relished in how joyful Ronan seemed during and after their rides.  As he grew, they got bigger and bigger safety seats to fasten to Daniel’s bike...
