Pedal Wench, wow, those are some very powerful images.

Singletrackmind, my son's school doesn't allow bikes to be ridden to school. It states in the school regulations that the bike will be confiscated and will only be released to a parent. After reading that DH was tempted to call his buddies and escort DS to school in protest. He never did follow through on that though. Although, as a parent, it's not the safest road to bike on for kids. No sidewalk, narrow shoulder and since it runs parallel to Bothell-Everett Hwy, some drivers zoom through it to avoid traffic on the highway. Never mind that it's a residential street with a posted speed limit of 25mph(plus we're supposed to slow down to 20 when children are present, no matter the road) and with an elementary school, park, and daycare on it. For school events, I've parked my car on the nearby neighborhood street and walked my children to the school only to have a car go by at 50mph. WTF I'd really like to slap these people.
