I regularly take Plano to Plano Parkway and all the way into Wylie to visit a friend. Must make me a bad person in your book.

It does if you're going 10-15 mph blocking traffic.

I presume your repeated use of the word, "toy" is for effect, or perhaps you're simply trying to be inflammatory. Either way, my bicycles are vehicles, not toys. Your wrong-headed opinion changes that not one iota.

A skateboard and a sled are vehicles too. That doesn't mean they aren't toys as well. We don't allow people to obstruct traffic with those vehicles. we shouldn't allow it with your toys either.

There are two women who even pull little trailers with small kids in them as they play with their bikes on Park Blvd. I pointed it out to a cop once and asked why he didn't stop them and have CPS take those kids. He said he didn't like it either but they were within the law.

I'll bet you think you're a liberty loving conservative too. Sad, but funny.

I'm sure you will blame the auto driver when one or both these women and those kids get hit while playing in traffic on one of the buisiest roads in the area.

It's bad enough when adults put themselves at risk playing in traffic. It should be criminal to put a child at risk that way. What these women are doing is as dangerous as leaving a small child alone in a swimming pool.

I'm sure you see nothing wrong with that either. Your attitude is why so many kids are killed on bicycles and in swimming pools every year.

Toys have their place. The streets aren't that place.

For the record, I'm against bicycling in swimming pools. Drowning is a horrible way to die.
