The kid on the end is from Canada and enjoys bicycling. The boy on the opposite end also likes bicycles just not as much. The boy in the middle is indifferent.
I don't mean to sound ignorant or rude, but that blonde boy is just a little too eager to be standing next to those other two.
It's as if he is thinking "Your Canadian Bike Shirt would look great crumpled up at the foot of my bed".
these are the things I think about when I get home from work, and want to forget that I spent all day at work.

The Canadian bicycle shirt looks like someone at the T-shirt company thought "Hey, these maple leaf and bicycle shirts are selling pretty well. I bet if we put them BOTH on the same shirt, we'll sell twice as many!!!"
If you were really psychic you'd know my mom bought me the $1.99 blue one, a half season later from the JCPenney warehouse for $.79. The extra $3 wasn't in the budget for my Toughskins ensemble.
I think it's pretty obvious what's going on in this picture.
It's clearly the first day of some International Track & Field Competition in 1976"welcoming kids from around the world!" to some rundown inner city grade school.
I was never good enough at anything to be selected but some kid from my school usually went at least as far as Toronto with their mastery of the long jump.
The Canadian kid's initial confidence, bolstered by a new haircut and a much larger
ten speed bicycle picture on his t-shirt, is slowly being undermined by the other two
opponents in his age group.
The oversexed kid from Sweden is all about psychic warfare. He touches himself
while encouraging the others to skip the afternoon try-outs and go to a matinee of "I Am Curious (Yellow)". When this fails he talks about seeing his sister naked.
The kid from Hong Kong is quietly dismissive of the other two while making small talk
about how the bicycle on his shirt is actually a twelve speed, not a ten speed. Being
tallest of the group he doesn't expect much in the way of competition. However,
he tries to talk mostly to the Canadian kid, lest the Swede's attempt to psych him out
confuses his budding sexuality.
