I completely understand! My SO is just starting to ride and our boys who are 4, 6, and 8 are wanting to ride more to. I'm happy to ride with them on trails but none of them will follow any "rules". I know the kids are kind of young, but they are extremely well behaved and normally listen well, but they can't seem to keep from cutting each other off, stopping short in front of me, not letting you know they are passing or just riding all over. I don't get mad, I just won't ride with them. I've even tried getting them to do only one thing at a time like all staying to one side of the path but that's just proving to much. I think my SO thinks I'm getting a little "bike-nazi" on everyone, but I don't want to wreck and injure myself or damage my bike and miss out on my 100+ miles a week of me-time riding because of some silly accident with them.

I'd like the kids to ride more as they get older and would love it if my SO would really take up riding, though with his bad back I doubt it, but I just dislike riding with them now. :-(
