Yes! I knew the safety flag meant the thread had been seen..now if only we could insinuate that there's a helmet ordinance for bikes and underaged passengers.... 4951
I’ve seen you dart out in traffic - barely looking. I’m not car line at B.B. - I drive thru there during Car line to pick up my kids from another school. It is NOT fun (and I could start another thread about that!) There is so much going on by B.B. at drop-off/pick-up. So many parents parking along the road and crossing Tree Lane, with kids in tow, NOT in the crosswalk. Cars turning every which way. I drive under 20mph and I’m still in heightened alert -especially when opposing traffic is NOT paying attention. Please stop with the attitude and listen to what drivers of, significantly larger and heavier, vehicles than you are saying. I don’t care if you ride your bike .5 miles or 50 miles. Simmer down and realize that your reckless ways are adding to the deterioration of nerves of many caring parents! 4951
Will neither be EVER wearing a helmet, or changing my route.
This road is too narrow to share a bike, she's not wearing a helmet, and it's a school zone.
@Summerbreeze: It is not my intention to "share" the road, I am on it to use it, wait your turn. Not planning on a helmet...ever. Yes, school zone, that's exactly why I'm there, otherwise I wouldn't want to be slowed down by all the cars in the way. 4951 - - - - - - - -

If a car hits us, no bike helmet in the world is going to make any difference.
I am so amazed that a woman riding a bike to take her kids to school in a neighborhood with controlled speeds during school hours can cause this much angst. BTW, I know this woman and she is one of the most attentive and responsible parents bar none.If I still had elementary school-aged kids, I may have tried what she is doing. I am pretty sure the kids appreciate the bonding time and experience. And other kids watching just may appreciate if their parents who are able would do so as well.And on the positive, she is teaching her kids that one can get around with more than a gasoline/diesel powered metal box.Keep up the good job biking mom.A 21-year Kingwood resident who continues to get shocked from some of my neighbor's continually. 4951
I think biking your kids to school is great, however not wearing a helmet concerns me. She should be wearing a helmet as well as her kids. 4951
Wait my turn? No thanks I will take another route, because I would be driving around you. You would have my sympathy if you didn't pull out in front of people. You're famous for that.

Pulling out in front of vehicles isn't anything to be proud of. It wasn't just one poster that was angry either.
www.roadswerenotbuil tforcars.com/the-pet ition-that-paved-ame rica/ You people are frickin crazy. Bikes have the right of way, and just because your lazy **** can't slow down for 10-20 secs this post actually exists. You make me sick. Entitled people that have no patience for the LAW. I grew up here and in 1990 when I moved here I was junior cyclist. How do people train for a sport where they have to ride 30-40 miles a day to train? They ride on dangerous roads, but they need cooperation from all drivers to make it work. I can't tell you the numerous times people were driving 50 mph and just flew by me by a couple of feet. I grew up in Greentree, and used to go out Mills Branch Road, then it turned to Ford Rd., out to 494 and up to Community Dr. in Porter and then back. Never went on Kingwood Dr. or any of the roads that weren't really bicycle friendly. SHARE THE ROAD and slow down. If her *** wants to drive down the middle of the rt. lane of gawd damn Tree Ln. then she can. You peeps and your cars didn't discover roads/streets, just like Christopher Columbus didn't discover America. Just because you're bigger and badder doesn't mean it's right. 4951
