Fred Tries to Ride a Bike

Fred Tries to Ride a Bike is the seventh episode of the second season of the Fred YouTube series. It is the twenty-fifth episode overall.

Synopsis
Fred borrows Kevin's new bike to try to teach himself how to ride.

Plot
Fred starts off explaining that he stole, or "temporarily borrowed" (since he says he will bring it back), Kevin's bike while Kevin and his family were away. He wishes to learn how to ride a bike, since cool kids in movies rode bikes and he's somewhat jealous.

He also excitedly mentions that the play's opening night was on the upcoming weekend.

Back to the bike, Fred is slightly nervous about riding it, but still wants to try riding it. He falls over the first time he does so and gets upset. But remaining hopeful, he tries again and succeeds, until he collides with a slide. Out of anger, he throws the bike, which he immediately regrets. Not much damage was done, with Fred hoping Kevin does not notice.

He goes off into a tangent, stemming from the size of his safety glasses, about his grandma and how hip she is. He then mentions how his grandma and mom were worried about an economic crash and depression, which Fred assumes the president will take care of.

Fred starts singing until Kevin catches him with his bike. After a heated conversation, he gives Kevin his bike back, fuming for a bit afterwards.

One of the last things he talks about is an upcoming election for kindergarten president, and he's interested in running-- reasons include wanting to make a difference at school and popularity.

The episode ends with Fred saying he will go try on his tree costume.
