As a father w/ 4 kiddos, DITTO.
Would just want to ride the route with my kiddo a few times to check problem spots and cycling skills.
Because that's what dads do.
Only difference is, I am a cyclist, sounds like he is a driver.
Take him with you on your route.
First by car (his mode), then by bike (your mode).
