Bike Rock

In Book 3 of the Pedro the Water Dog Saves the Planet series, realizing the only way to end fossil fuels is to get rid of cars, best-friend athletes Tilly and Camas write a manifesto for their bicycle ride across the country, The Great Petal Pedal Ride. The elders of Burning Man are called upon, having just kicked cars out of the playa and the mayor of Netherland bike mecca, Utrecht. Add an ominous monopoly of oil barons, an elegant, musical, starlet riding for the cause on Route 66, a glacier wedding proposal, and the beloved cast of quirky, irreverent, humorous friends on the Great Ride to a bike-first car-out world.


Bike Rock is Book 3 of the Pedro the Water Dog Saves the Planet series, a read-in-an-afternoon novella-length outdoor cli-fi adventure, filled with lovable, quirky characters in a candy wrapper of laughter, irreverence, kisses, friendship, satire, bicycles, love, and magnificent scenic beauty.


“In these wonderful stories, Kalfsbeek addresses important environmental issues through the loving, gentle hands of a cast of characters that are easy to connect with. One wants to be part of this healthy gang; it is easy to fall in love with one or two of them. She has found an avenue to address these critical issues that must be talked about but without a heavy hammer. A delightful read that will fill you with hope and a forgotten bounce in your step or pedal.”
