It is an old bicycle which knows Egor’s small secrets. The young bicyclist is fallen in love with the girl who’s running every morning on his route. Once Egor collides with Mitja, the boy from the provided family. Egor becomes involuntary witnesses of leaving Mitja’s father from family. Angered Mitja breaks the fury on Egor. He compels our hero to enter competition »who is more quickly?«. The result of the race is the bicycle’s destruction. The frame of Egor’s bicycle is broken.
