I had the unfortunate situation today to almost witness something that could have ended really badly


A child probably around 5-6 years old was cycling down the pavement with no parents in sight wobbled a steered his bike into the road where there was an oncoming car, fortunately he fell off and landed with his bike just on the side of the kerb and didn't go all the way into the road


I picked up the boy and his bike and asked him where his parents were and as we were on a corner there was no one in sight, a short time later his dad comes round the corner - I tried to explain the situation but was still in a bit of shock so not sure he got the message and I guess he thought I was having a go at him as he shrugged his shoulders and said his son knew to stop on the corners....



Long and the short of it just because they know when to stop on a corner doesn't mean they are proficient enough to cycle alone and safely down the street - please please bear this in mind
