Bookroo's summary

During Bayport's Junior Bike Race, Frank's day takes a turn for the worse when his bike tire blows, and then his bike disappears. With the town bully cleared of suspicion, Frank and Joe must unravel the mystery. Could the thief be someone unexpected, like Mr. Mack's dog, Lucy? As they dig deeper, every resident becomes a suspect. Can the brothers solve the case and recover Frank's bike before it's too late?

From the publisher

It’s time for the annual Junior Bike Race in Bayport, and Frank and Joe are the top contenders. Midway through the race, Frank runs over a nail and blows a tire. It seems as if the day couldn’t get worse–until Frank’s bicycle goes missing! Bayport’s leading bully, Adam Ackerman, seems to be the prime suspect. But when he proves that he wasn’t the bicycle thief, everyone turns out to be a potential culprit–even Mr. Mack’s dog, Lucy! Can Frank and Joe crack the case and bring Frank’s bicycle home?
