HH, I am glad to hear that with the help of local enforcement, you were able to teach at least one driver that we [bikers] belong on the road too.

But all this about kids in trailers, trail-a-bikes, etc. is crazy talk! I don't know if you guys realize this but every day we take our lives into our own hands by virtue of going about our daily business. (For example, you could die in the shower by slipping on the soap and banging your head. Are you going to stop cleaning yourself then??)

Yes, we take steps to ensure our safety and we certainly go to great lengths to protect our children. But we can't simply stop doing what we need to do (like getting ourselves from point a to b with our kiddos) because of 'what ifs'. As HH pointed out, our personal safety is our personal responsibility. Take it seriously or live in a sequestered box.

PS: I mean all of the above in the kindest, most non-judgmental way possible
