What’s in a name? Plenty.

Agassi Joel Roy hates his first name and wants everyone to call him Joel. He hates tennis too—and most other sports. But when he hears about the cycling competition in his town, he decides to take part.

So what if he doesn’t know cycling? Or doesn’t own a working cycle? With a borrowed cycle—accompanied by a rather unexpected companion—and ample courage, Joel begins his lessons, with his neighbour Zeba as his tutor.

Will Joel reach the finish line or will cycling join the list of most hated sports?
