0:00:39 > 0:00:41- Ned's New Bike
0:00:53 > 0:00:57- The only thing Ned wanted - on his birthday was a bike.
0:00:57 > 0:01:03- He wanted a blue bike with a red - seat and flames painted on the bar.
0:01:03 > 0:01:08- On his fifth birthday, - that's precisely what he had.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11- It was a great bike.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20- He had a bell on the handlebars...
0:01:20 > 0:01:24- ..and a bag under the seat - for his sandwiches.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27- Two large wheels - and two small wheels...
0:01:27 > 0:01:30- ..to give Ned some help on his way.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33- Ned rode his bike every day.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36- Around the garden, - down the street with Dad...
0:01:37 > 0:01:40- ..in the empty car park - on Sundays with Tad-cu.
0:01:40 > 0:01:46- Sometimes, he rode it in the house, - from the front door to the kitchen.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49- But Mam wasn't too happy - when he did that.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51- Nor was Shibwns the cat...
0:01:51 > 0:01:55- ..especially when Ned - rode his bike over her tail.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04- The blue bike - was Ned's favourite thing.
0:02:06 > 0:02:10- He looked after it so well and - stored it in the shed every night.
0:02:16 > 0:02:20- One clear Sunday morning, - as the autumn turned to winter...
0:02:21 > 0:02:24- ..Ned's father woke one morning - and said...
0:02:24 > 0:02:27- .."Ned, come and have - some breakfast.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30- "Today is an important day. - Let's get started."
0:02:31 > 0:02:35- "An important day? - What was Dad talking about?"
0:02:35 > 0:02:37- Ned jumped out of bed...
0:02:37 > 0:02:42- ..ran downstairs - and ate his porridge and toast.
0:02:43 > 0:02:49- Dad shouted, "Today, Ned, - we're going to the park."
0:02:49 > 0:02:54- "Wear your trainers, jeans, - blue T-shirt, red jacket...
0:02:55 > 0:03:00- "..knee pads, elbow pads - and more importantly, your helmet.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03- "Oh, and your pants and socks, - of course!"
0:03:04 > 0:03:06- "Why, Dad?" asked Ned.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09- He had no idea what was going on.
0:03:10 > 0:03:16- "Ned," replied Dad, "Today is - the day we remove the stabilizers.
0:03:16 > 0:03:20- "From now on, - you'll be cycling on two wheels."
0:03:22 > 0:03:24- Ned swallowed hard.
0:03:25 > 0:03:29- He enjoyed cycling everywhere - on his bike...
0:03:29 > 0:03:33- ..but he felt safe - with the stabilizers on the bike.
0:03:33 > 0:03:38- But the two big wheels - without the stabilizers?
0:03:38 > 0:03:41- What if he started wobbling? - What if he fell off?
0:03:42 > 0:03:44- What if he hurt himself?
0:03:44 > 0:03:48- Worse still, - what if he scratched his bike?
0:03:48 > 0:03:54- On the other hand, he couldn't - keep his stabilizers forever.
0:03:54 > 0:03:57- He'd have to take them off - sooner or later.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59- But did he have to do it today?
0:04:07 > 0:04:09- The park looked wonderful.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12- The leaves on the tall trees...
0:04:12 > 0:04:16- ..were changing from green - to red, orange and brown.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19- The long, wide path stretched - through the park...
0:04:20 > 0:04:24- ..past the picnic benches, - swings, slide and the duck pond.
0:04:29 > 0:04:35- "Now then, Ned," said Dad, - as he removed the stabilizers...
0:04:35 > 0:04:37- .."Are you ready?"
0:04:38 > 0:04:41- "I don't think I am, Dad," - replied Ned nervously.
0:04:42 > 0:04:46- "I'm worried I'll fall. - I'm scared I'll scratch my bike."
0:04:47 > 0:04:51- "There's no need to worry," said Dad - as he cuddled Ned reassuringly...
0:04:52 > 0:04:54- .."I'll make sure - you don't fall off.
0:04:54 > 0:04:59- "I promise, once you feel safe - you'll be fine.
0:05:00 > 0:05:04- "And you know, - it's a wonderful feeling.
0:05:04 > 0:05:06- "You'll never forget how to do it.
0:05:07 > 0:05:11- "It's just like, well, - riding a bike."
0:05:13 > 0:05:15- Dad laughed at his own joke...
0:05:15 > 0:05:17- ..but Ned didn't understand it.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21- "Come on, Ned. Let's get started."
0:05:21 > 0:05:24- Ned looked at Dad nervously.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27- "Come on, Ned, - I promise to hold on tight.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30- "I'm with you every step of the way. - Come on."
0:05:30 > 0:05:36- Ned sat on his red seat - and held on tight to the handles.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40- "Right," said Dad, - "Feet on the pedals. Ready?"
0:05:40 > 0:05:45- Slowly, Dad pushed the bike - while holding on tight.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48- Ned pedalled with his feet.
0:05:49 > 0:05:54- He was a little shaky - but then he felt more sure.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08- "You're doing great," said Dad.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10- Ned felt good.
0:06:10 > 0:06:16- That's when he realised that Dad - wasn't holding on any more.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19- Ned was cycling on two wheels.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21- On his own.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24- Whoo-hoo!
0:06:28 > 0:06:33- Dad was right, - it was an incredible feeling.
0:06:33 > 0:06:37- The wheels turned faster and faster.
0:06:37 > 0:06:44- He flew past the picnic tables, the - swing, the slide and the duck pond.
0:06:58 > 0:07:02- He was in a beautiful tunnel - of golden leaves.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05- The birds were singing a happy song.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08- # Look, look, look at this
0:07:08 > 0:07:12- # Ned is cycling on two wheels #
0:07:12 > 0:07:15- Every flower waved - as he passed them.
0:07:15 > 0:07:21- Ned was sure he'd heard them say, - "Look at how clever Ned is.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23- "He's cycling on two wheels."
0:07:24 > 0:07:28- Just then he saw a rabbit - on the side of the path...
0:07:28 > 0:07:30- ..with its head in its paws.
0:07:31 > 0:07:33- Ned slowed down - and asked the rabbit...
0:07:34 > 0:07:37- .."What's wrong, little bunny? - Are you crying?"
0:07:38 > 0:07:42- "I'm scared," replied the rabbit.
0:07:42 > 0:07:47- "I'm lost. I don't know where - Mama Bunny and my brothers went.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49- "I thought they went that way...
0:07:50 > 0:07:54- "..but I stopped to see my friend - and Mama didn't notice.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56- "Now she's gone."
0:07:58 > 0:08:02- "Why don't you hop on my bike?" - said Ned.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05- "Let's see if we can catch up - with Mama Bunny.
0:08:06 > 0:08:12- Ned placed the rabbit - in his bag and started to pedal.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14- "Hold on tight."
0:08:14 > 0:08:19- "Thank you, bike boy," - said the rabbit through its tears.
0:08:19 > 0:08:23- Of they went with Ned pedalling - past the trees.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26- All the creatures shouted...
0:08:26 > 0:08:31- .."Mama Bunny? Mama Bunny?"
0:08:32 > 0:08:36- "Has Baba Bunny lost its mother?" - asked a squirrel.
0:08:36 > 0:08:40- "Yes, and he's very sad," - replied Ned.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44- "I'll help you find her, bike boy.
0:08:44 > 0:08:49- "You're bound to catch up - with her with your speedy wheels."
0:08:49 > 0:08:54- The squirrel told the owl that the - little rabbit had lost its mother.
0:08:54 > 0:08:59- "Ooh, Baba Bunny has lost Mama," - it hooted.
0:08:59 > 0:09:03- The birds heard - and they flew from their branches...
0:09:03 > 0:09:05- ..and settled on the handlebars.
0:09:07 > 0:09:11- "Your wheels are bound - to catch up with her," they said.
0:09:12 > 0:09:16- "Mama Bunny?" they all shouted.
0:09:17 > 0:09:22- "Has Baba Bunny lost its mother?" - squeaked a family of butterflies...
0:09:22 > 0:09:24- ..as they settled on Ned's bell.
0:09:24 > 0:09:31- "Yes, and it's very sad," said - a buzzard that landed on Ned's head.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35- That's when they saw another rabbit.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38- A bigger rabbit - at the side of the path.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42- "Hold on," he told his new friends.
0:09:42 > 0:09:43- "Who's this?
0:09:44 > 0:09:47- "Hello. Are you Mama Bunny?"
0:09:47 > 0:09:53- "Yes," cried the rabbit, - "Have you seen my little baby?"
0:09:53 > 0:09:58- "Well, as it happens, - I think I have," replied Ned.
0:09:58 > 0:10:03- As he said that, the little rabbit - popped its head out of the bag.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06- It leapt out, ran to Mama Bunny - cuddled her...
0:10:07 > 0:10:08- ..and rubbed noses with her.
0:10:09 > 0:10:12- "Thank you, bike boy," - said the happy rabbits.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15- "Without you, - and your speedy wheels...
0:10:15 > 0:10:19- "..we'd have never - seen each other again."
0:10:19 > 0:10:26- The owl hooted, "Oooh, hip-hip, - hooray to our hero, the bike boy!"
0:10:26 > 0:10:32- "Hip-hip, hooray," shouted everyone - before disappearing into the woods.
0:10:38 > 0:10:43- "What a great adventure on my first - day on two wheels," thought Ned...
0:10:43 > 0:10:46- ..as he followed the path - back to Dad.
0:10:46 > 0:10:48- Dad was right.
0:10:48 > 0:10:53- Riding a bike on two wheels, - without the stabilizers...
0:10:53 > 0:10:55- ..was a special experience.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57- Probably.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00- Did that all happen?
0:11:01 > 0:11:04- Well, it felt like that to Ned.
0:11:29 > 0:11:29- .
