Make 'Em Ride On The Sidewalk
-
This BBC columnist says that he won't let his daughter ride a bike on local streets, based purely on emotion -- he knows that, statistically, she's more likely to get hurt in many other ways at home, but he just doesn't think it's safe to share the road with traffic. He thinks that it's different in European countries where bikes are more part of the infrastructure, and that's probably true. What about in North America, where there are more and more bike lanes, but bikers often stray into car traffic and cars often drift into the bike lanes? Do you let your kid ride? (BBC)
