[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous[b]]Big, significant presents like a bike are the parents' prerogative, no question. Grandparents should ask first and then be ok with it if the parents say no. Certain things are things we parents look forward to, just like the grandparents did when they had kids: first solid food, first haircut, first bike, etc. [/b]

OP, it's not too late for your DH to tell them nicely and regretfully that you're planning to get him a bike for spring, so they'll need to get something else. If they're pissy, they're pissy. If they don't bother to ask beforehand, they risk being inconvenienced when they have to change their plans.

Uhhhh is this written in the parents' rule book that comes out with the afterbirth?  I could have not cared less if my parents or inlaws gave my kid a bike. What is a parents' perogative varies according to families. Some of you people need to take a chill. 'What is the big deal -- hey mom  we wanted to do that -- make it something special.' Don't need to make it out like they violated the Geneva convention like the pp is suggesting.
