[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To: Very experienced urban biker I assume you don’t bike with kids. My kids were far more unstable trying to walk their bike vs riding/scooting until they were 10. And bike with a trailer? Walking that is pretty unwieldy and much easier to stop and maneuver in bike. They were CLEARLY crossing at PEDESTRIAN speed; the whole walk your bike across is to force urban bike Lance wannabes to slow down, not force 1st graders to stumble across a crosswalk pushing their hefty Huffy. [/quote] No, they were not crossing at pedestrian speed, and the mom should have been right next to the child (whether walking or biking). If you seriously think the parents did nothing wrong here, then I guess you're one of those reckless parents I see everywhere. Glad your kids emerged unscathed. And I'm sorry you don't get the basic physics of why moving more quickly on a bike reduces visibility compared to walking. [/quote]
