[[Arthur Read|Arthur]] finally saves enough money to buy the bike of his dreams, then discovers that it is much too nice to actually ride.
[[Arthur Read|Arthur]] finally saves enough money to buy the bike of his dreams, then discovers that it is much too nice to actually ride.
==Plot==
==Plot==
Arthur has plastered his walls with paper cutouts. D.W. remarks that he is obsessed.
Arthur is saving up for a new bike by doing chores to earn money. A few days later, he finally saves enough money and with [[David Read|his father]] and [[Buster Baxter|Buster]], he goes to buy the bike. He shows it to [[Francine Frensky|Francine]] and [[Alan Powers|the Brain]], then takes it home. He then gets worried that it will be stolen. One night, he is visited by the Ghost of Bicycles Past who shows him that it will be a pile of pieces by the time he's old (although [[Prunella Deegan|Prunella]] recognized him as the [[Ghost of Lunch Tomorrow]]). He then wakes up realizing that it can be useful and races his friends.
Title Card
 
Arthur's parents have promised him an expensive bike, the GX Trailblazer 10.000, provided he raises half of the money himself. Buster wants him to come to the movies, but Arthur is cutting all expenses.
 
Over the following weeks Arthur does lots of odd jobs for money and does not go to the Sugar Bowl or the movies.
 
Eventually he has the money together. He and Buster see a car thief on the Bionic Bunny Show and Buster warns him, that someone might steal his expensive bike.
 
Arthur gets the bike and is envied by Buster, Brain and Francine. Just as he wants to try out the bike, a passing truck splashes mud on it. To protect the bike, Arthur pushes it home.
 
At night he's so worried about the bike being stolen, that he puts all sorts of chains on it. Eventually he puts it in his room to keep it save.
 
When the other kids meet with their bikes at the park, Arthur arrives on foot, claiming that he is saving the bike for a special occasion. The others try to convince him that a proper bike should have a few “battle scars”.
 
At night Arthur is visited by the “Ghost of Bicycles Never Ridden”. He shows Arthur how Mrs. Read washes china plates she never uses, Mr. Crosswire has a Rolls Royce in his garage he never drives, and Prunella has boots she never wears and that will soon be too small for her. When Prunella recognizes the ghost as the former “Ghost of Lunch Tomorrow”, the ghost quickly takes Arthur to the future where a much older Arthur finally sits on the bike, only for it to fall to pieces. Arthur wakes up screaming.
 
The next day Arthur's friends are impressed by a mountain bike rider who turns out to be Arthur. They start a race.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*This is one of the three episodes that focus on bikes. The other two are "[[D.W. Rides Again]]" and "[[Binky vs. Binky]].
* This is one of the rare times on the TV series when someone calls Arthur by his full name.
*'''Moral:'''
*This is one of the three episodes that focus on bikes. The other two are "[[D.W. Rides Again]]" and "[[Binky vs. Binky]]".
**There is no point in getting a bike if you don't use it.
*In the beginning, D.W. parodies "The Twilight Zone".
**Dont overreact about stuff for your own benefits.
 
*'''Timeline:''' Francine mentions how she dented her bike while she was racing to the [[Mighty Mountain]] bowling tournament. This could be the tournament seen in "[[Francine's Split Decision]]"; however, in that episode we do not see her damage her bike. She is only seen getting her dress caught in the bike.
