Ep 26. Housebound!/Curious George Rides a Bike

Curious George (US) season 1 episode 26 is a double feature consisting of two separate episodes: Housebound! and Curious George Rides a Bike.

In Housebound!, George is excited to play outside on a sunny day, but soon discovers that he is confined to the house because of a cold he caught. While being stuck inside, George is determined to find ways to have fun indoors. He tries painting and baking cookies, but things don't quite go according to plan. When The Man with the Yellow Hat comes home from work, he suggests that they play a game called "Indoor Volleyball" with a balloon. George loves the game and soon improves his skills, even creating a new game that involves bouncing the balloon off everything in the house. But the fun is cut short when George accidentally breaks a vase. Feeling guilty, George comes up with a creative solution to fix it and learns that indoor activities can be just as fun as playing outside.

In Curious George Rides a Bike, George is fascinated by a boy who rides his bike through the park and wants to learn how to ride one himself. With some help from The Man with the Yellow Hat, George learns to ride a bike without training wheels. However, George becomes overconfident and ventures out on his own, forgetting the basic rules of bike safety. He runs into some trouble when he can't remember how to stop and ends up crashing into a tree. The Man with the Yellow Hat comes to the rescue and helps George understand the importance of obeying traffic signals and wearing protective gear while riding a bike. George learns to ride safely and happily ever after.
