I ride a lot of mile in Urban Assault mode. Streets, dirt trails, MUPs and such. I usually ride with several other people. As soon as we see a kid anywhere within our track we yell " KIDS!" as loud as possible. We make sure they here us. 99 percent of the time they all stare at us with that kid stare. Even so I had one jump out of a wagon once while cruising thru a park and somehow he ended up under my bike. Nothing touched him as I steered around him while skidding to a stop. He ended up crouched down between my front wheel and Crank. Thank God I was on my 29er and there was room. Still caught it in Spanish. Good thing I didn't understand a word. I thought I did pretty good considering the way it happened. Disc brakes rock.
