Please help me name and find this book

[Moregreyhairs]

ik, so this is a bit of a challenge as I don't know the title of this children's book or the author. It's French and has lovely illustrations. It's about a man who runs a bike shop, loves bikes but then you find out he never actually was taught how to ride one... Would make someone really happy if I could find this book but if I ask any more details then he will guess I am looking for it. Pleas help!!!

Does anyone not have a clue.

Sorry, no ideas about that one.
Bump.

Bump because that sounds like a lovely book and I want to know too.

Thank you, thank youso much. Thought it was a long shot asking but you really have helped me.... Now just to track down an original copy in French! X

The original French copies are expensive but the 2009 reprint is much cheaper. Depends how much you'd be prepared to spend?

How expensive are the original French copies do you think? Don't want to pay a small fortune (as don't have even the smallest of the small one of those) but really do want to have it in the original French .

Have a look here for a list of available editions (French and English there). It depends on whether you want hardback or paperback and if you mind the mass market paperback copies. You can get a copy quite cheaply if that doesn't bother you. Just click on 'compare prices' next to each copy and it will find you most available online copies to purchase, plus a price including postage.
