Teaching my child how to move around in the world has been a source of both joy and terror - joy as he learns independence, terror that the world doesn't care about his safety. One thing is becoming very clear: teaching *kids* to be safe on the streets is doomed to fail. 🧵
@mbonsma This breaks my heart. My children had the good fortune to learn to ride when cars were small, few, and slow on the roads of our town. Now I worry about my grandbaby who will soon enough be aiming at changed roads.
