I wonder after all these postings she wears a helmet or just avoids this area tomorrow. 4951

I agree the only thing wrong here is that she is not wearing a helmet. I'm sure we all could point out a lot of wrong things car/truck drivers do. When I'm on my bicycle I do not ride the wrong way on a one way. The paths have a lot of foot traffic, not really designed for bikes and walkers. But the roads here were not designed for bikes as well. But laws are laws. I think prince may need to give himself more time during his morning commute, and not take it out on the mom exercising her right's and body 4951

This road is too narrow to share a bike, she's not wearing a helmet, and it's a school zone.

@Summerbreeze: Opinion, no legal requirement, immaterial.

Does this woman and her child really need to be choking up the going to work traffic...just plain stupid to risk yourself and your child...go exercise somewhere else.  Only LICENSED vehicles should be in the roadway. 4951

Well, she's within her rights but I wouldn't do it. Too dangerous. 4951

doddlebug: If I heard right anything considered a vehicle that goes under 20 mph is not required to be licensed. According to your line of thinking, kids playing in a cul de sac would need to be licensed.

Pretty sure she is or was taking one  of her children to school.  They ride their bike along with her and then she goes home.  See her almost every morning when i walk the dog.  It's not like she was on a main road and there was tons of traffic.  Not everyone can live right next to a Greenbelt and use it to get where they want to go to and from.   Just plain stupid for drivers not to be aware of bicycles on the roadway in a neighborhood

Biking is a great way to get yourself or child to school.  But don't pretend there are not any greenbelts around Tree Lane, and easy alternatives to biking directly on Tree Lane, which is quite a busy street.

buffaloglenn:  I live in the area and walk these Greenbelts nearly every day and there are plenty of places one cannot get where they want to go without being on the street.  For starters, It is at a minimum of a 3 to 4 block walk or bike ride to get to a Greenbelt from my house.  Tree Lane may be busy but people drive way too fast on that street as well as Sandy Forks and need to slow down an pay attention to surroundings...

3 or 4 blocks to get to a greenbelt (look again, at the map), on a bike, to save yourself and child from possibly being hit by a car?  Again, I LOVE running and biking all over Kingwood, but even by myself, with no kids in tow, I don't bike or run on busy streets.  You don't need to; the greenbelts, especially in Bear Branch, are all a very short bike away.  4951

Maybe she was at the part of the ride where she needed to exit the greenbelt to get where she was going. You can't alway take a greenbelt the entire way to your destination. 4951

monyhoney: Could be.  I do know that there are greenbelts that lead directly onto Bear Branch elementary, although I certainly do not know if that was where she was going.  There are also greenbelts that go straight onto the Montessori school.  For either of those, you don't need to bike down Tree.

I'm more afraid of walking on the Greenbelt than I am on the street. People ride psycho-fast on bikes in the Greenbelt. At least on the street I can see them ahead! 4951

  Does anyone know IF/WHERE you can get a map of the greenbelts?  And where they go in relation to the streets?  I used to rollerblade down them.. and would come out in the oddest places and temporarily get lost.  Maps would be very helpful..

I just use Google Maps.  The Greenbelts are all on there.  4951
