But that's par for the course. I just smiled.

Oregon Southpaw, with overly cautious parents these days and litigation-fearing organizations, it's a growing trend of forbidding riding to schools. We're pushing back. The middle school principal got reprimanded in his home town, for riding with his son to school. He thinks it's nuts.

brockd15, it would be a logistical nightmare to have everyone bring bikes to school. There was no riding at all. The one demo with riding was me riding at 2mph and Kirk (my partner) walking but pretending he was a car driver. He cut me off and I bumped into him so we could show how collisions happen.
