I think everyone is missing the point.
The kids will willingly, no eagerly follow an old fart on a bike, sort of like the pied piper. Not just a kid, but all the kids in the area will manage to find a bike and follow, like little ducklings behind one of us in full kit.
The old crone who was cackling about us got one thing right, old guys on bikes are a lot more fun that cackling old crones so kids will gladly desert her for old guys like us!

You know what, I wondered why I always had crowds of kids on bikes behind me. Note to self - stop playing soothing tunes while cycling...

If the old lady in the hair salon was saying that most every middle age guy she saw on a bike was a pervert, she'd have much more credibility.

Come to think of it, the closest registered sex offender in my neighborhood does ride around on a bike...he just got one with electrical assist...

I knew someone who didn't give homeless panhandlers money if they happened to be male because she thought most were child molesters just trying to avoid having to put down an address because of the National Sex Offender Registry. So absurd and maybe more absurd than pedophile bicyclists.

I've managed to avoid to having children throughout my fertile years, why would I want someone else's child while I'm riding a bike? No thank you.
Besides, most of the sketchy looking guys are collecting empty bottles and cans on their bikes. They look too busy to bother trying to ride home with a squirmy, sugar filled kid.
