I figure it's time to cut the cord and teach him to ride without the wheels.
It's easy.
Take off the training wheels, have mommy (or daddy) positioned about 100 feet down the road, and sit the child on the bike while supporting it by the seat. Run along as the child peddles towards mommy (or daddy) then let go without letting the child know you've done so.
Both of you cheer and wave and congratulate the child and yourselves on the accomplishment.
