He complains to his boss about spending money he doesn't have.
Then when he goes home he gets heartbroken because his wife is telling his kids they have to return the bikes.
you're telling me he couldn't afford two bikes? Couldn't have been more than $500.

And even so, that's precisely the thing. He's too busy chasing a raise, a promotion, the dollar sign, he thinks that makes him a good dad being able to buy them things, not spending time with his kids like he should've.

That seems like a gross after the fact fix to bad script writing. "We couldn't replace the cheapo bikes with expensive ones". Right. It would literally take an hour or two to find and buy 2 expensive kid bikes. And even then, really expensive kid bikes would be a few thousand total. If they don't have a few thousand put away some where they have no business having kids.

Perhaps it is some kind of moral message, about what a kid
should
want as a gift or reward. Riding a bike is more healthy than playing Xbox, but which one does the average kid desires the most these days? Not sure if that was the intention, but I think it's not bad since it's a family movie to watch with your kids.
