It was Saturday. Perfect time to visit your best friend Jessica. It was an interesting friendship, because she stood at a tall 4'11", while you were only 4'5". Normally your parents would drive you to her house, but since they're on vacation, you resorted to riding your bike. Oh well, I could use the exercise.
Biking to Jessica's was usually a last resort, since you weren't as good at it. There weren't many bikes that suited you. Even with the one you own you can barely reach the pedals. At least the trip is easier than walking.

"Here, let me try again."
Jessica measured you again, with no different results. You somehow grew a whole three quarters of an inch since last afternoon. Maybe that explains the shrinking bike.
"Never mind that," says Jessica after a while. "C'mon, let's...
