In Stanza 3, the persona said that even "(his) bicycle never leaned against the garage / as it does today, / all the dark blue speed drained out of it".
What do you think he is emphasising?
He is emphasising that his bicycle is getting old and probably needs to be replaced because the paint is fading away.
He is emphasising that things are very different now that he's 10 years old, with a much lower level of energy, and even his bicycle reflects that.
He is emphasising that he doesn't want to play with his bicycle anymore, and hence, the bicycle feels sad and blue.

In Stanza 4, the persona says that 'it's the beginning of sadness'. Why do you think he feels that way?
He is sad because it is time to say good-bye to (his) imaginary friends,
and time to turn the first big number.
He is sad because he can no longer be just a child. He will be expected to be mature and not have imaginary friends, which is a childish pursuit.
He feels that way because he doesn't want to be 10 years old.
