Kid is legitimate

I love this article. The way the writer discipled his child. when they were both younger and they road in bike lanes and traffic together.

"We taught him the rules of the road. And as he got older, we started getting him to take the lead as we rode. In grade 6 he started the short commute to his elementary school by himself."

wonderful. i hope to have that kind of relationship with a child of mine. teaching conservation, healthy living, independence, and fun. yeah, commuting is tons of fun. no joke.
but i think after the end of the article in the author bio, their relationship is very clear. loving.

"His 14 year old son Andy is in grade 8, plays a wicked fiddle and sometimes performs with his father’s band."


I hope my son is confident and instructed enough at ten to ride to school alone.
Well, it's something to strive for.
