Are you worry about them falling off the bike and scraping their knees and getting hurt?
Or do they wear knee pads and elbow pads? How do you feel?
Answer
My kids generally only ride their bikes in the yard at our house (we live on 2 acres on a backroad where people drive like maniacs, it's not HEAVY traffic, but people drive stupid on this road regardless, so no way in Hell are they rakin their bikes on the road, even with me there), so we don't usually bother with helmets. This year I'm going to get a helmet for each of them to keep at their grandpa's house where they can ride the sidewalk, etc... (he lives on a culdasack -probably spelled that wrong- so the kids can ride down, around, and back). I have 3 boys, ages 6, 3 and 2, that are very much all boy, and scrapes, bumps, bruises, etc... come with the territory for us, so I don't worry too much about that. The 6 year old's a typical boy who got his mommy's Klutz gene, the 3 year old is a daredevil that's not scared of anything, and the 2 year old is a ruthless climber that's also not scared of anything. This tends to make me a nervous wreck, but I try not to worry too much!

Do your kids ride their bikes to school?

And what are their ages? At my kids school the bike rack is pretty empty (although he does go to a private school.) Only kids who ride to school are them (10&8) my nephew JJ (was 8) his friend Caden (10) and my God Daughter (was 10)..Is this a lost joy? Is it because parents are scared of abductors?
Some of my funnest memories were riding to school as a kid and I grew up in a high crime area. I know my kids love it, they will leave early so they can stop at the Doughnut shop, or hit up the skate park while it's empty.
What is it like where you're from? Bike kids? Bus kids? Walkers? Or mainly guardians dropping off. Thanks.
Answer
There are around 280-300 kids at my daughters elementary school. Probably 3 of them ride their bikes. Most ride the bus and maybe 50-60 of us drop our kids off and pick them up.
I take my kids to school. There are no sidewalks on our road, for one. Then the rest of the way is the main road with no sidewalks. My middle school daughter goes to school 20 miles away so I take her and pick her up, too. No way she would get there on time riding a bike for 20 miles lol .
