What a great idea Marc.
I've recently been through the same process with Freddie, our 5-year-old, and it was a trial for both of us for a while.
Eventually he learned that when he could "hear the rattling" (of the bent-up training wheels - or stabilisers as we call them in the UK,) then that was "bad", and when he couldn't, that was "good".
The first time he managed a full 100M run with no rattling he said "it was like floating on air."
Needless to say he's never looked back, and we were blessed to have a charged-up camcorder handy for the first ever training-wheel-less run.
If we'd taken your approach I'm sure we'd have avoided hours of frustration and a few nasty bruises :)
Best wishes,
Alex
