Round and Round We Go is a Barney Home Video that was released on August 27, 2002. It was re-released on September 22, 2009, as "Fun on Wheels". It is not to be confused with the DVD from the Phillippines of the same name containing Play for Exercise! and Day and Night.
Plot
When Robert bends a wheel cleaning his grandfather's old bike, Barney suggests the kids visit with his friend Pop Wheely. Pop absolutely loves wheels and anything that has to do with transportation--and he just happens to run a wheel factory. As Pop's magical machine cranks out a new wheel for Robert's bike, Pop lets Barney and the kids test new wheels for his bus, ship, train, and planes as they learn about street and bike safety along the way. Lots of fun songs like "Wheels on the Bus" and "Down by the Station" accompany the kid's animated journeys and soon they're finally back in the tree house putting the finishing touches on Robert's newly renovated bike.
