dude, I was worried you were picking up old chicks!!!
J/K, you are right though, gotta be careful. Lots of elderly retired folks where I live in Florida and they can't see a thing and forget any depth perception. I am 2 feet from them and their brain tells them I am 1 mile away
Drat! Thought I had a built in busaphile protection system. Turns out my bike is in twice as much trouble as most!Gonna go tell it not to talk to strangers w/candy.
Busaphile!!! :bounce:

I hear you. I was on my way home from Baseball practice with my 9yr old son and the back when this fool with a supercharged chevy pickup was running next to me. I could hear him winding it up but I just let him blow by me. Like Im going to race him on a city street, with my son on the back. loser!
Oh yeah, down here in AZ we have a whole different breed of dumb.......

The kids are the only ones that it's cool to see lookin' b/c they have no attitudes, they simply are genuinely interested in the bike or riding, whether they're dreaming of riding themselves or wondering what the heck they're seeing.
Adults, well, for the most part, I'd just as soon be invisible. You know, like we usually are on the road to them anyway. ???
Zoinks!

Agreed. Although, I do want to kick a parent in the face when said kid is standing up on the back seat of the car looking out the back window. Sounds crazy, but I've seen it more than once, and you just have to wonder, "what in the heck is this person thinking driving down the highway without the kid strapped into a car seat?!"

This made me laugh. I don't think we ever used seat belts when I was growing up. I also climbed trees and played on monkey bars and swam in the creek.
Funny how times change.

Geesh. In this day and age, with all our book learnin' and access to information and crash statistics...
I even have a safety belt system for my dog!But, the human race will always be what it has always been: Persistent in spite of itself.
Ya gotta figure, btw, that you're giving those folks a bit too much credit: Chance are "thinking" is not something they do very much of, it all.

Yep. Of course, the latter three tend to have a lot less chance of killing or maiming the kid compared to the potential of a vehicle, in which case, an unbelted person is virtually assured to go far worse than a belted one.
Only really damaging accident in a car that I've been in was a smack of my front bumper to the guy that stopped without cause in front of me while I was doing a head check. Only about 10mph but the jolt was brutal and the seat belt left a brusie across my torso and my torso muscles were sore for days. An unbelted kid woulda face planted into the windshile or dash for sure.
