Or, is the opposition based on the particular roads?
I pulled my 20-something sons in a trailer (when they were little) in Indy and Atlanta and saw no great hazard to it then or now. Yes, they wore helmets.
No, it is not at that I am opposed to it. I ride in city traffic daily and if I get squished by a truck, big deal. I do it because I enjoy riding my bike in traffic. I am very afraid of taking my kids out in that traffic. I am not saying anything bad about you because you do, it just scares me to have my kids out there. Dont be offended, it just is one of the points that worries me with kids. Course now my kids are in the teen's to mid 20's and I have so much more to worry about now than traffic. Just you and your kids be careful out there and have a good time.
