"Arthur Changes Gears" is the second half of the sixth episode in the tenth season of Arthur.

Summary

Arthur finally saves enough money to buy the bike of his dreams, then discovers that the new bike is much too nice to actually ride.

Plot

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 Buster and David, he goes to buy his new bike. He shows it to Francine and the Brain, then takes it home. He then gets worried that his new bike will be stolen. One night, he is visited by the Ghost of Bicycles Past and is shown that his new bike will be a pile of pieces by the time he's old (although Prunella recognized him as the Ghost of Lunch Tomorrow). Arthur then wakes up realizing that his bike can be useful and races his friends, ending the episode.
