I Am The Cheese

I am the cheese is a book about a kid that rides his bike to a town where his dad is. On the way he runs into some obsicales that slows him down. For example he gets flat tire, so he walks it half a mile to a gas station. 
He meets a old guy at the station that fixes his flat tire for free. 
(To remember his dad by, he wears his dad hood and his big old fluffy ripped up jacket.)
