I took the kids on a bike ride today. After airing up all the tires we rode down to the grocery store. It is not even a half a mile away and half of that is through a park. But I still get so nervous when we are out riding. My son is eleven and my daughter is ten and they both have good heads on their shoulders, but they do get distracted pretty easily. I know that I was riding all around my home town by the time I was six or seven. Of course we see more cars on our short ride than I came across in a whole month riding as a kid. Some day they are going to be out on their own, but I am probably always going to worry. Later.
