on bicycles.
A few days ago I am driving down a major road with heavy traffic, moving about 35 MPH, speed limit 40 MPH. I see one kid, say 12-14 yo riding his bike approaching a cross street. As I approach said cross street i slow for kid on bike when some other kid, similar age comes flying out as fast as possible into the main road.
I slam on my brakes, miss idiot by a few feet. A car in the other lane is forced to swerve onto the sidewalk to avoid the other kid who crossed the double yellow. Both cars honk and the idiot kid has that "what did you do that for you moron" look on his face while the other kid is laughing hat how funny this is. Neither were wearing a helmet. Last year one kid broke several bones when they tried some stunt and fell in the road.
A few days after that i see kids jumping the curb to the grass and than back to the road in the same area. I decide to call the Police and let them know about this. The officer thanks me and says they have receive multiple complaints about that issue in the same area.
Today I saw a unmarked cruiser hiding in that area. I can only hope they catch some of those kids and make their parents come down to the station to get their little brats.
