Kids are put at risk every day of their lives and getting them out and about in a controled manner will help them with confidence and if they ever get into bikes themselves it's always good for the extra experience. |
I'm impressed!
I have to say I agree with your comments.
One thing I feel is that I ride slower when my son is on the back, giving me more response time to react to the lunatic fringe.
When I was a kid I drove around lots in the car with my dad, it gave me a sense of awareness and the rules of the road before I even got to drive myself, so the time spent with me can only aid my son in the future decisions he will have to make.
We all agree the traffic conditions are getting worse any head start can only be a good one as far as I'm concerned.
