Fair enough being a suicyclist and risking your own life, but putting your kid in this kind of danger is not acceptable. Absolutely
moron!

Sums it up. I tried cycling to work for a bit in a lawless part of Bradford. It soon became clear that it was only a matter of time before I got wiped out. Not worth the hassle on roads that are just too busy. I certainly wouldn't be letting my kid ride on the roads.

From a keen cyclist, with a slightly older child.
Agreed. From a keen cyclist, with a slightly older child.
MTB here, father of two under fives... and never cease to be astonished / sickened watching people trundle along with their kids in a trailer at eye level to passing HGV wheel nuts. I mean no, you can't wrap them up in cotton wool but as usual, a bit more self preservation or better still, preservation of your kids lives wouldn't go amiss.

Is it safe for a driver to close pass a cyclist of any age?
At what age should I allow my kids to cycle on the road?
I guess these are the the questions. Driver was definitely in the wrong. Should a 5 year old be on a busy road in rush hour at 5? Probably not. Not because 5 year old shouldn't be on the road as such, more the roads are increasingly filled with entitled morons. At what age should I allow my kids to cycle on the road?
Im of the opinion that you should only be on the road having passed a theory test.
Cars, bikes, horses, anything for that matter.
We often see kids on horses round my way and I often think as they approach a roundabout have they any idea about priority, looking for indicators and just general road craft?
I genuinely don't know what the legal poisition is but for the safety of all road users it should become mandatory.

I don't cycle often but I actively avoid roads, I'll go on pavements, nature reserves etc where possibly where I can cos let's face it, no one walks anymore.
No way I'd be letting my son on the road with the amount of morons out there. Even when I'm driving I feel like I'm the only one giving cyclists sufficient space.

I remember driving in central London a few years ago and there was a woman and man cycling near Buckingham Palace with 3 children behind them. By that I mean male at the front , lady behind on her bike and 3 children all on their own bikes behind the parents. The smallest child at the back was about 3/4 years old. The wheels on the smallest bike were about 8 “ diameter and it was all over the place. Absolutely nuts. The mother did look like her clothing was knitted from her own pubes and it had been a while since any meat had passed her lips though.
