Let us carry the discussion further and talk about armor ; have you seen what is mandated by law for a child to ride a bike in this country? Headgear, elbow pads, knee pads, heck, you would think that the kid was going to joust !
I can remember one particularly steep hill, that we would go down at full speed, often times, someone would be sitting on the handle bars as well and while both parties didn't always arrive at the bottom at the same time, there was no limit as to how much we laughed !In the winter we would go down that same frozen hill in a rusty car hood.
