[QUOTE="Cute Tink, post: 58500431, member: 5363"] The problem is that there is no equally reliable way to prove how much bike riding people are doing. Vehicles track the number of miles that are driven, but bikes do not. However, on that note, there is no reliable way to track how many of those miles are driven with the kids in the car. According to several sites out there, passenger cars average 15,000 miles per year, but how many with kids in the car? What I am mainly objecting to is the idea that bikes must be more dangerous when the only basis they have is that they don't see kids on their bikes any more, so any death is perceived as being 1 of only a few. I don't buy it and I think the premise of this topic that it is neglect to allow a child to ride a bike is utterly without merit. But I do thank you for taking the time to ask for clarification politely rather than the "epic fail" approach I've received thus far. [/QUOTE]
