<p>Don’t expect them to observe his biking habits and be surprised. Or care. They should but don’t get upset if they don’t.
I wasn’t able to safely stop (and jump up and down wildly like I needed to) the last time I saw similar behavior.
It was a kid of about 10 years skateboarding down a slope into a HIGHWAY. A stoplight was there–thank god so traffic was slowed. And I realized his parents were THERE on the corner WATCHING him. </p>
<p>I feel the same as when the school buses come around and the kids sit in the MIDDLE of the road. In the DARK.
Does anyone move when the car comes up with the headlights on? NO. Are you kidding me? I’m going to sue the parent of whomever I accidentally hit for negligence and emotional distress to ME.</p>
