[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You’re too much of a helicopter parent. Let her be, she can manage a 2 mile bike ride, it’s really odd to jump on forums and ask for advice in this situation and call the gym for advice on crossing the street. It’s a 10 minute bike ride!

My kid is going to school by bike since 2nd grade and I know a girl doing a 7 mile to school trip every day over 4 lane streets. It’s not that big of a deal.

General safety is flashing lights for front and back and a high visibility jacket and helmet if you’re worried. [/quote]

OP here. Please keep in mind a lot of this is context. We live in an area where she can walk a mile, along busy roads, to a Starbucks or grocery store. Other than that, she regularly drives herself to the gym, school, out with friends. So she has a ton of freedom, just not in this context.I'm sure if we had been gradually loosening the reins on biking I'd be more comfortable with it,  but other than bike paths, she doesn't have that much experience biking.[/quote]
