Dedhed's perspectives are in synch with my own. My children did ride bicycles to school when it was practical and it best served their needs or desires. Few children are going to ride bicycles to school to satisfy their parent(s)' political/social agenda.
I often wonder how many people, who cannot understand why other families don't embrace a car free life or demand/expect their (or others') children to be "Car-free", have school age children and/or have ever left their cozy college town (or unique US public transportation environment like NYC)? I could be wrong but I suspect not many.
