a group from our side does long rides every saturday morning. adults mostly, a few college kids. my son has been riding around miyapur on his own for two years and now he wants in. i'm the one who taught him to ride, so it feels strange to be the one saying no. i just keep thinking about the trucks at that hour. anyone's teen ride with one of these groups?
A few senior boys from my school ride with a group like this. From what they tell me, the decent groups have rules: helmet, lights, nobody left riding alone at the back. Ask the ride lead if they take under-18s and whether a parent has to come the first time. If they say 'no problem, send him' without asking you anything, adhi kuda oka signal 🙂
called the ride lead last night. under-18s only with a parent for the first two rides, then a signed form. so it looks like i'm doing 50 km on saturday. haven't done more than 20 in years
Keep going
More from the parents who were here.
