It’s Like Riding A Bike

Underline the similes in the story and use them in sentences.
Nathan buckled the strap of his bicycle helmet
and pulled on his elbow and knee pads. He was ready
to try out his new ramp which he had received for his
birthday.
Bella and Christopher, two kids who lived down
the street, stood in the yard to watch him. Excitement
hung in the air like fireworks on the Fourth of July.
Nathan climbed onto his bicycle. He positioned himself on the sidewalk for
maximum speed. Then he pedaled. The wind whipped past him like a fan blowing in
his face. It felt like he pedaled as fast as a cheetah!
The ramp sat up ahead. Nathan aimed for it. His front tire made the climb and his
back tire followed. The bicycle suspended in the air for a few seconds before hitting the
ground.
Nathan kept pedaling to keep up the momentum, but Bella and Christopher
shouted and clapped in excitement. Nathan grinned. He did it! He made the jump like
an expert biker.
He made the jump a few more times before he handed over the bicycle for Bella
to have a turn. She put on the helmet and pads, and she took her turn. Christopher
went next.
They all made their jumps successfully. Nathan loved his new bicycle ramp. He
felt as awesome as the coolest kid in town.
At last, it was time for Bella and Christopher to go home. They promised to return
tomorrow for more bike riding. Nathan couldn’t wait!
