Riding Riding on My Bike - Children's Song

Seeking the lyrics of a song I heard once, sung by a group of kids at church camp in 1976. It goes:
    Riding, riding on my bike is the kind of thing that I really like
    On the kind of day people stay inside I get on my bike and ride.
    I remember long ago, when I was very small,
    A three-wheeled trike, all white and red's what I wanted most of all.
    On the pedals wooden blocks till my feet could reach.
    I'd ring the bell and toot the horn, for I had one of each.

    Riding, riding on my bike is the kind of thing that I really like
    Let the raindrops rain, let the cold wind blow, I'll get on my bike and go!

The song leader (whose name I of course do not remember) of the children mentioned the composer's name. It wasn't clear whether it was someone he knew, someone famous, or both. I have never found the song since. It must be fairly well-known, because typing in "riding riding on my bike" in Google brings up "is the kind of thing that I really like song" automatically, but clicking on that results in nothing useful, mainly other songs about bikes. Any help appreciated, thanks.

Hey, sorry I never answered this post from two years ago. I am not from New England but was at camp in Maine when I heard the song.

A friend found it. "The Bike Song" by Aline Shader.
