[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love it! It will making bicycling even more popular. 10 years from now many of these kids will be using their bicycles to get around instead of having to ask their parents for a ride every time.[/quote]

Seriously. The problem is tha tmost of these kids have completely disengaged parents to begin, one reason many of them can't ride a bike. I wonder like a PP, where are all these bikes going to be stored. I would bet money that at least half will be stolen by the first semester. I am ALL for physical fitness but this just isn't very thought out. [/quote]

You think my kid can't ride a bike because I'm "disengaged"?

Perhaps you should get out of your suburban cul-de-sac once in a while. [/quote]

PP apparently also thinks some parents are "disengaged" because they're poor.

Actually they're "engaged" in working more than one job, possibly commuting to take care of your WOTP children or clean your grandmother's bedpan.  They could be "engaged" in paying increasingly unaffordable DC rents and not have money left over for a bike.

Talk to a poor parent some time.  Tell her to her face her kid doesn't have what your kid has simply because she doesn't care.

Be sure to carry your yoga mat to your meeting so she sees how much harder you work. [/quote]
