1. A multi-stage method of using a multi-stage cycle including a front with at least one rotatable wheel, a rear with at least one rotatable wheel, pedals to pedal the cycle, and a seat; an arcuate bottom rack including a front and a rear rotatably coupled to the rear of the cycle, wherein said multi-stage cycle includes a first stage where said arcuate bottom rack is rotated below said cycle, bows downward, contacts the ground and supports said cycle for rocking movement of the cycle by a child on the cycle, a second stage where said arcuate bottom rack is rotated and erected behind said cycle, does not support said cycle and said arcuate bottom rack forms a push handle for pushing a child on the cycle, and a third stage where said arcuate bottom rack is separated from the cycle for normal pedaling and cycle operation by a child on the cycle; and further including a lock to lock the front of the cycle to the front of the arcuate bottom rack when said multi-stage cycle is in said first stage, the method including:providing the multi-stage cycle in a first stage for a child by rotating said arcuate bottom rack below said cycle so that the arcuate bottom rack bows downward, contacts the ground and supports said cycle and the child rocking the cycle back and forth in the first stage; providing the multi-stage cycle in a second stage for a child by rotating and erecting the arcuate bottom rack behind said cycle so that the arcuate bottom rack does not support said cycle and forms a push handle and pushing the child on the cycle with the push handle; providing the multi-stage cycle in a third stage for a child by detaching the arcuate bottom rack from the cycle and the child pedaling the cycle. 2. The method of claim 1, further including a lock to lock the front of the cycle to the front of the arcuate bottom rack when said multi-stage cycle is in said first stage, and the method further including locking the front of the cycle to the front of the arcuate bottom rack with said lock when said multi-stage cycle is in said first stage.3. The method of claim 1, further including a lock to lock said arcuate bottom rack erected behind said cycle to form said push handle when said multi-stage cycle is in said second stage, said arcuate bottom rack and said rear of said cycle including holes that align when said arcuate bottom rack is erected behind said cycle in said second stage, and said lock including an insertion pin slidably removable within the aligned holes of the arcuate bottom rack and the rear frames in a lateral direction, and the method further including locking said arcuate bottom rack in an erect position behind said cycle to form said push handle when said multi-stage cycle is in said second stage by slidably inserting said insertion pin in a lateral direction within the aligned holes of the arcuate bottom rack and the rear of the cycle.4. The method of claim 1, wherein said arcuate bottom rack widens progressing from the front to the rear of said arcuate bottom rack.5. The method of claim 1, wherein said arcuate bottom rack includes a back support when the arcuate bottom rack is erected behind said cycle to form said push handle when said multi-stage cycle is in said second stage, and the method further including the child resting back on the back support when said multi-stage cycle is in said second stage.6. The method of claim 1, further including a rear axle that said at least one rotatable wheel of the rear of the cycle is rotatably connected to, and the rear of the arcuate bottom rack is rotatably coupled to said cycle, around said rear axle.7. The method of claim 1, wherein said rear of the arcuate bottom rack is rotatably coupled to said cycle inside said at least one rotatable wheel of the rear of the cycle.8. The method of claim 1, wherein said rear of the arcuate bottom rack is rotatably and detachably coupled to said cycle.
