More and more children start discarding their old, sturdy bikes infavour of brightly-coloured, plastic, inflatable, single-usereplacements which look great (they even sort-of fly) but pop easilyand cause injuries on impact – facts which are of no concern toEvilyn the Entrepreneur.

It’s up to Rory and Flora to put an end to Evilyn’s schemes and repairand recycle all the damaged old bikes, before anyone gets seriouslyhurt.
