RE: Cycling Tales - Riding Down the Memory Lane
Cycling itself shouldn't be the problem, I think. But what about the traffic in your area...? In the countryside, my kids were out and about on their bikes on their own. I could never imagine that in the city!
I have always lived in closed-communities, so traffic has never been a problem. It's almost non-existent. The little traffic we have strictly follows community rules which are designed keeping kids' safety in mind. So it's been always safe for me (as a kid) and now for my kids.
I see these closed communities as both a curse and a blessing... In this respect, they're a great thing: you don't need to be glued to your kids all the time and yet you know - they're safe.
You are right. Everything has its pros and cons. But seeing the current security situation of the country, I feel blessed.
