    Good. I’m tired of the armies of 12 year old kids with absolutely no awareness or caution whatsoever on bikes that can easily go 30+mph.

      Walking home from shop the other day.
      Dumb kid zooms past us on the grass from behind because the footpath is rather narrow. No lights, dressed all dark (it was evening and dark already).
