I cycle with my 10yo to school once a week, she walks the other days. We are not in London, but every week I feel like we are gambling with our safety as we pass by a busy secondary school. We want to persevere but it feels increasingly like risk>health, so I need to make some changes. My question is, with the two of us, what do you think is the best road position for the two of us? If she is in front I can keep an eye on her and half wheel a bit to improve our prominence. If behind she can follow my wheel but I can't easily see what she is doing. Or side by side? She is confident and able, but not so experienced in heavy traffic and anyway, the driving is abysmal.
