Motor Matt; Or, The King of the Wheelmotor Stories Thrilling Adventure Motor Fiction No 1.
In 1909 Phoenix, a boy named Matt King rules the dusty tracks on two wheels, but his real gift lives beneath the hood of every machine he touches. Called Motor Matt for his uncanny way with motors and men alike, he pilots his bicycle through a world where speed equals status and every race carries stakes beyond the finish line. When Matt intervenes in a confrontation involving his friend Susie McReady, he makes enemies of Dace Perry and a vengeful fellow student called Clipperton, setting up a rivalry that threatens both his standing on the track and his safety in the streets. As the crucial bicycle try-out approaches, Matt must navigate growing tensions, outride his competitors, and prove that the King of the Wheel earns his crown through guts and gray matter in equal measure. This is early 20th-century boys' adventure fiction at its pulp-punched finest: a world where a bicycle is a throne, mechanical ingenuity is a superpower, and the road to manhood runs through the next big race. Perfect for readers who love vintage adventure, cycling history, or simply a good underdog story told with period grit.
