Author:Quentin Blake

Mrs Armitage sets off for a quiet cycle with her faithful dog, Breakspear, but she just can't help thinking of ways to improve her bicycle.

Before long, she’s added three very loud horns, a bucket of water to wash her hands and a seat for Breakspear.

But it’s when she finally adds the mast and sail, that Mrs Armitage really runs into trouble… Join her for a bike ride like no other.

Part of the iconic BBC animated series, Quentin Blake’s Box of Treasures.
