"...WHY DID HE RIDE A BIKE?..."
I said it seems quite odd that a) he's 19 and in high school, STILL and b) riding a bike, rather than driving....to school.
I wonder what percent of the kids in his 'prison of a school' (his words, not mine) ride their bikes to school. He lives in a pretty affluent area and I would imagine most (not saying all) of the kids 16 - 18 drive to school. I know that's how it is in my county....with varying levels of income. They either ride the bus (small %), drive themselves (largest %) or ride w/friends (not a very large %)
