Bikes: Some bikes. Hell, they're all the same, ain't they?

And adults aren't much better, either, IMO. Delaying a license doesn't guarantee that they'll learn any more.

Germany's minimum age is 18, but they learn a hell of a lot more than we teach here, too. I've seen the exams. Their 18-year-olds know more about driving than many American 36-year-olds, I'll bet.

Kids can learn just about anything... if it's taught to them. Teach them the right stuff to begin with, drill it into their heads so they won't forget it, and they'll be fine.
