[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I used to bike all the time on the roads, up until about 10 years ago. It's just dangerous, plain and simple. [b]A new study came out saying child bike injuries are down significantly (probably because of helmets), but adult injuries are up by 300%.[/b] Your kid is engaging in a more adult bike riding activity -- commuting. Only you know the roads, but I'd err on the side of safety. How many high schoolers, for example, might be driving cars and texting on those same streets? If it's during the rush hour commute, people tend to drive more aggressively, IMO, because they are late for work.[/quote] Which study was that?[/quote]
