As the episode begins, Angry Kid is seen sitting on his sofa watching television with his brother while complaining about his old bicycle being too small for him. His father overhears the complaints and decides to buy him a new bike, but only on one condition - he must pass his cycling proficiency test. Angry Kid scoffs at the idea, but soon realizes that he needs to pass the test in order to get the new bike.

The following day, Angry Kid is accompanied by his father as he takes his cycling test. Angry Kid is nervous and doesn't seem to be taking the test seriously, and as a result, he fails.

Angry Kid is heartbroken and decides to take matters into his own hands.

Later that day, Angry Kid hops onto his new bike and takes it for a spin without a care in the world. He rides through the streets recklessly, ignoring traffic lights and nearly colliding with several cars. The chaos he causes attracts the attention of a traffic warden, who chases him down on foot. Angry Kid manages to evade him by riding through a park, but the warden is hot on his heels.

Angry Kid then decides to take his bike off-road and rides through a field, jumping over hay bales and dodging obstacles. The traffic warden follows him, but his car gets stuck in the field, giving Angry Kid the opportunity to make his escape. He rides through a forest, narrowly avoiding trees, and eventually finds himself on a quiet country road.

As he rides down the road, he comes across a group of cyclists who are training for a race. Angry Kid joins in with them, showing off his skills and impressing everyone with his speed and agility. However, his reckless riding soon catches up with him, and he crashes his bike into a ditch.

Angry Kid is given a fine for his reckless riding, and he is forced to walk home while pushing his bike.
