For once, I agree with the schools. I wish my parents had let me have a bike or taught me to ride one when I was a kid. (My parents .... A whole ‘nother story. Sigh.) Anyway, my now-husband taught me to ride as an adult but I’m a crummy and timid rider because you really need to learn that sort of thing when you’re young. So yeah, it’s really the parents’ place to do this, but it’s D.C. A lot of parents who just can’t cope in that area, I imagine.
My Father taught me how to ride a Bike without Training Wheels and he even bought me a Schwinn Stingray.
How times have changed when there is a lack of Fathers in the Home. A big Thank You to LBJ and the Democrat Party.
