NCERT Solutions for class 2 English Mridang Unit 1 Fun with Friends Chapter 1 and 2

I have a red bicycle.
I pedal and I ride.
Trin… trin… trin… goes the bell.
Makes my friends move aside.
The seat is blue in colour,
The tyres and pedals are black.
Sometimes fast, sometimes slow,
But my bicycle is always on track.
To keep my bicycle moving,
All I need is some air.
I put on my little helmet,
And go happily everywhere.
