[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]And yes, I wish police would stop drivers who run red lights as well, but I was shocked at these biking parents putting their children at risk like that.

The city is turning a blind eye to the danger cyclists put children in. It is appalling. [/quote]

Maybe it's arrogance and entitlement by bike "advocates" who are trying to prove a point.  But sometimes it crosses the line into reckless endangerment of a child or even several children.

Do you have any examples of actual harm to children or are you just making up hypotheticals? With such rampant recklessness taking place there must be many examples to draw upon. However, it would be simple to post countless examples of children who died in local traffic collisions recently. Would driving your kids to school also be considered reckless endangerment?[/quote]

Children in cars who are in accidents are protected by government approved car seats, thousands of pounds of steel and multiple air bags.

Children on bicycles who are in accidents are protected by...their parents' good intentions? [/quote]
