Summary "The Steel Horse: The Rambles of a Bicycle" by Harry Castlemon is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story follows a group of boys, particularly Joe Wayring and his friends, as they embark on an adventurous bicycle journey across their home state. The narrative is filled with the excitement of youthful exploration, friendships, and the perils they encounter along the way." "At the start of the novel, the main characters are introduced during a tense moment when they prevent a potential train disaster by discovering a large rock on the railroad tracks. The narrator, one of Joe's companions, expresses his apprehension about recounting their holiday adventures, hinting at various past episodes involving a character named Matt Coyle. The boys are eager to explore on their bicycles, embracing the freedom of summer vacation. However, their journey is complicated as they navigate their friendships, the consequences of previous mischief, and unexpected encounters that hint at further adventures to come."
