I had a bittersweet conversation with Tynan yesterday on the way back home from the park in the late afternoon (he's 6 going on 7):
T: That was nice of that cyclist to stop for us when we crossed (at the lights), wasn't it.
BMMF: Yes it was, but you're meant to stop at the lights when people are crossing anyway.
T: But most of the other cyclists just ride through as if they're going to hit you.
BMMF: Do they?
T: Yes.
BMMF: What makes you say that? Is it something you've heard other people saying, or is it something you've noticed yourself?
T: It's something I've noticed myself.
BMMF: Well I don't do it when I cycle. Would you do it when you start cycling more on the road?
T: No, because it might scare people.
BMMF: Good boy.
