Every time Lateef passes by the bicycle stall in his village, he sighs, "I wish I could rent a bike". So he works very hard, collecting firewood and mushrooms in the rain forest and selling them in the village market. He saves his money in a clay pot, and finally he has enough to rent a bike! But is he really ready to ride? Set in western Nigeria, this sunny tale portrays the zigs and zags -- as well as the bumps and thumps -- of an occasionally irresponsible but always irresistible bike lover.
