In this book third book in the series, Biking through Amish Country in Southern Minnesota, the story unfolds as Dan, biking with his pal Jay, have an encounter with a black bear, which suddenly appears on their bike path. One bike crashes in a ditch to avoid the bear and the front wheel is severely twisted. The boy, thrown over the handlebars, but unhurt, begins to mull-over how the wheel can be repaired.
