The show "Trash Truck" follows a young boy named Hank as he embarks on adventures with his best friend, a lovable and anthropomorphic garbage truck named Trash Truck. In season 1 episode 11, titled "Training Wheels," Hank is eager to learn how to ride a bike without training wheels.

The episode begins with Hank attempting to ride his bike without the training wheels, but he struggles and falls off. Trash Truck suggests that they go ask Hank's Mom for help, but Hank is reluctant. He doesn't want to admit to his mom that he doesn't know how to ride a bike without training wheels. Instead, Hank suggests they go on an adventure and find a way to teach Hank how to ride without training wheels on their own.

With Trash Truck's help, Hank tries practicing on a small section of dirt road. Trash Truck does his best to help him balance, but Hank keeps falling off. The two friends try other methods, like Hank holding onto Trash Truck's garbage arm and gliding along, but these methods don't work either.

As they continue their search for a solution, they run into a friendly mailman who suggests Hank build up his balance by walking on a curb.

Together, they find a long, flat curb that Hank can walk on while pushing the bike. Hank practices on the curb every day, determined to learn how to balance on two wheels. Trash Truck encourages him every step of the way, offering words of encouragement and reminding Hank to have fun.

Hank's mom begins to notice that Hank is spending a lot of time with Trash Truck instead of practicing on his bike. Worried that he's given up, she confronts him about it. Hank admits that he's still having trouble riding without the training wheels and doesn't want to disappoint her.

Instead of being upset, Hank's mom praises him for trying his best and encourages him to keep practicing. She even shares her own story about learning to ride a bike as a child, which helps Hank feel more confident in his abilities.

With his mom's encouragement, Hank continues to practice on the curb and eventually graduates to riding on the road with Trash Truck by his side. The episode ends with Hank and Trash Truck riding off into the sunset, happy and proud.
