cakePHP not able to use a global variable in my views

I am using cakephp v2.3.4

Have set in the /app/Config/bootstrap.php a global variable as follow;

Configure::write('Bike.Frontwheel','Gazette, 16 inch');

I am not able to see this value in my any of my views, what am I doing wrong? I am able to change the value in a controller with:

Configure::write('Bike.Frontwheel', $Data['Bike']['description']);

Code in the view:

<?php echo Configure::read('Bike.Frontwheel'); ?>

try in the config folder,

for this you need to create a file in the config folder & load that in the bootstrap as shown

Configure::load('custom');

this shows that your file is custom.php now you can write as 

$config['Bike.Frontwheel'] = 'Gazette, 16 inch';

where ever you need you can call this as

$variable = Configure::read('Bike.Frontwheel');

Set the variable in your controller so that it gets passed to your view:

$this->set('front_wheel', Configure::read('Bike.Frontwheel'));

Then in your view:

<?php echo $front_wheel; ?>
