bike riding

The latest hot topic at our household is about getting the boys bikes for their upcoming 4th birthday. They're quickly outgrowing their tricycles, and are ready for something a bit bigger. The problem is that my husband absolutely does NOT want them to have training wheels...I think training wheels are completely FINE, and they should be able to have them. In order to substantiate his claim, Dan has been working with the boys on their bike riding skills with a little bike that he took the pedals off of. Balance, balance, balance. Christopher is really doing great, and Nate is really wanting to work on it too. The video shows Chris 'riding' the bike down the sidewalk, two houses away. What do YOU think about training wheels?
