The nanny state's really outdone itself this time. Forbidding a grown woman and her 12 year old kid from engaging in a health-conscious, non-polluting activity--riding his bike to school.

When I was in elementary school, many eons ago when dinosaurs roamed the earth, kids were allowed to ride their bikes to school once they hit third grade. I walked home from school every sunny day from the time I was seven until I graduated high school. I was never once hit by a car or accosted by perverts in windowless vans looking for lost puppies.
How did people my age grow up to be such a bunch of terrified weenies?
