When Caillou sees Leo's new bicycle, he wishes his was new and looked special too. Daddy suggests they spruce up their old bikes, and Caillou learns a little about recycling and reusing instead of always thinking "new". First, they wash the bikes and make them all shiny. Then, they decorate Caillou's bike with streamers and flags found around the house. Mommy supplies a horn, and now Caillou's bicycle is as good as new. Daddy shows Caillou how to reuse resources already available in order to make something look good again.
