Kids Cycle To School and Parents Risk Being Reported to Social Services

Almost a year ago we asked the question, When Should Tykes Be On Bikes?. Now in the UK the question is being asked, When Should Kids be Allowed to Ride to School -- Alone?

For one London couple, Oliver and Gillian Schönrock, they decided it was OK for their eight year daughter and five year son to ride the 1.2km (0.75 miles) to their school along the footpath. But the Head of school has apparently told them unless they ride with the kids to and fro, then the parents may be reported to UK Social Services for putting their children in harms way.

Note: And now it's unsafe to send your kid to school!
