Child Endangerment?

I live in Pennsylvania, in a suburb of Wilmington, DE. It is a formerly rural area with narrow, winding roads with little or no shoulder. Former ox cart paths have been transformed into major travel roads with little improvement except for paving. As I was driving to work ths morning, I saw a guy riding a bike on route 896, a major travel road with about 1 foot of shoulder on each side. Numerous cars are blasting by him with less than a foot of clearance. Just about the time I am silently cursing the guy for being enough of a moron to ride on that road during morning rush hour, I see that he has a passenger, a small child in a bike seat. I was appalled. Disregarding your own safety is bad enough, but the child has no say in the matter. Is he breaking any laws? If so, I will report him the next time I see him.
